Answer to Question 1

A good answer will include Europe, nineteenth century, Enlightenment or Age of Reason, challenges to the divine right of kings and to monarchy, Locke: society formed through rational decisions of free individuals (or discussion of a social contract), Rousseau: private property creates inequality, but society enhances freedom if people are equal. Wollstonecraft: society couldn't progress if women were kept backward. Essays could also note that these ideas contributed to Jefferson's work on the Declaration of Independence, that the monarchies were being replaced by republics, and that the Industrial Revolution was changing the nature of work and people's relationships to work.
