How would the ideas presented by the philosophers(John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau) be a motivation for the French people to revolt against the monarchy?

Ideas John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau helped popularized the concept of Democracy. (hobbes actually supported absolute monarchy in general, but several of his ideas are implemented in Democracy)

Explanation:

John Locke was known for his ideas about law supremacy. No one should be placed above the law. Even the government officials should be subjected to the same law as the people.

Hobbes presented the idea that The government exist only to represent the interest of the people who form them. Especially to maintain order, economic stability and safety from foreign attack.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau presented the idea that The government should guarantee the freedom of its people.

The combination of these ideas contributed to the democratic ideology that we used today, This exact ideology was held by the people of France when they revolted against the monarchy. They no longer wanted the government ruled by nobles. They wanted the people to be influenced in determining the policies taken by the government.

in the united states, the president is controlled by the

constitution, and in all respects subordinate to it. insofar

as it deals with presidential power, however, the american

constitution has proved to be a highly malleable document.

with very few exceptions,' the constitutional provisions relating to the president have not been changed at all since

they were ratified in 1787. but in the late twentieth century, those provisions do not mean what they meant in

1787. the constitution is a legal document, and it is enforced judicially; but its meaning was hardly fixed when it

was ratified. in particular, the contemporary president has

far broader powers than the original constitution contemplated. it is remarkable but true that large-scale changes in

the authority of the president have been brought about

without changes in the constitutional text, but nevertheless

without significant illegality.

this is a paradox. is it not clear that constitutional

changes, if not textual, are illegal? the paradox has considerable relevance to our current thinking about the presidency in particular and about constitutionalism in general.

perhaps the framers of the american constitution feared

legislative power most of all; 2 but from well-known events

in the twentieth century, it is possible to conclude that it is

presidential power that holds out the greatest risks to both

liberty and democracy. the president is by far the most visible leader in the nation; he is often the only person in government with a national constituency. moreover, he is
