The Enlightenment did not directly contribute to the outbreak of the French Revolution, but the French revolution does embody some of the enlightenment ideas. Enlightenment thinkers promoted ideas of progress and natural law in all aspects of society. This can be seen in the writings of Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Voltaire. Ideas of the French Revolution derived from the Enlightenment are as follows: Constitutional monarchy, Liberal government, Division of powers among the nobles, the monarchy, and the representatives of the cities to replace the Old Regime, The Declaration of the Rights of Man, The Social Contract, Popular Sovereignty, and the Enlightened Absolutism.
