Question

Which of the following phrases is not the work of philosophers that encouraged the French to seek freedom and equality?

• A. "Two Treatises of Government"
• B. "Social Contract"
• C. "The Spirit of Laws"
• D. "The Story of American Independence"

Answer 1

The correct option is D "The Story of American Independence"

The books "Two Treatises of Government", "Social Contract", and "The Spirit of Laws" spelt out the demerits of the doctrine of divine right and monarchy. These also spread ideas like the people-represented government and division of power between the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary.
