What was Jean-Jacques Rousseau's contribution to the Enlightenment during the 17th century?

His philosophy influenced the Enlightenment in France and across Europe, and also was important to elements of the French Revolution. He argued for a society based on reason rather than faith, and created a new social contract (like John Locke) in Discourse on Inequality. Both philosophers agreed that a social contract created between a government and the governed, in which a government's authority relies on the consent of the governed, was necessary for people to live in society. Both of their social contracts rest on the idea of natural rights, which is that everyone is born with a certain set of rights and the government exists to protect those rights.
