Jean-Jacques Rousseau	Popular sovereignty	Government should represent the "general will" of the peopl
", "most Enlightenment philosophers converged on some fundamental principles:
* Questioning absolute monarchy
* Promoting rational inquiry
* Advocating for some form of individual rights
* Suggesting that government's legitimacy comes from the consent of the governed", "	1	Challenging traditional authority
1. Emphasizing reason over divine right
2. Advocating for individual rights
3. Promoting the idea that government should protect individual liberties", "	•	Some supported constitutional monarchy
* Others advocated for more republican forms of government
* A few, like Voltaire, still saw merit in enlightened absolutism
The notion of 100% agreement among philosophers is fundamentally contrary to the spirit of the Enlightenment, which celebrated critical thinking, debate, and the challenge of existing ideas."
