Enlightenment thinkers helped motivate the French Revolution by:
A. suggesting that absolute monarchies were not rational forms of
government.
B. claiming that only God could determine who should rule.
C. arguing that violent uprisings were the only way to create social
change.
D. criticizing the outcomes of the American Revolution.
I’m going to go with A. Because the enlightenment thinkers questioned the traditional authority and right to rule monarchs. Which began a wave of change across much of the Western world, including the birth of capitalism and democracy.
