The concept of equality has roots in ancient civilizations, but it gained significant traction during the Enlightenment in the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly in Europe and North America. Philosophers like john Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau championed ideas of individual rights and social contracts. The American Revolution (1775-1783) and the French Revolution (1789) further advanced the idea of equality, leading to declarations that proclaimed the inherent rights of all individuals. These movements laid the groundwork for modern understandings of equality in civil rights and social justice.
