The french revolution started because of the philosophers 

The shopkeeper, meat seller and the middle-class workers 

They had spread the idea of revolt throughout the nation 

And due to this, people started building up aggression 


John Locke was an English philosopher

His ‘Two treaties of government’ was a blockbuster 

He Refuted the divine right of kingship 

This brought down the king from the chairmanship


The next philosopher was Jean Jack Rousseau 

He always wrote with pleasure and his favourite wine Bordeaux   

He wrote a lot of  books including ‘The social contract’ 

This made the public reenact 

 

Last but not least was Montesquieu 

Because of his ‘Spirit of the Laws’ people were rescued 

He proposed the Idea of Division of Power 

And this was the need of the hour 


The success behind the revolution were these legends

That is why they are still remembered in the present 

They didn’t give up even in the worst situations 

And their philosophy fought for their nation
