government authority.
Enlightenment thinkers challenged traditional authority (especially absolute monarchy and the divine right of kings), arguing via natural rights and the social contract (Locke, Rousseau, Montesquieu) that rulers’ power must be limited and justified — and that people could resist or replace governments that violated those rights.
