1. what did enlightenment thinkers question that helped bring about revolutions in europe?

how wealth should be distributed in society and what role workers should have in making decisions who should participate in government and what rights a monarch had to rule

Explanation:

Enlightenment thinkers questioned traditional power structures. They challenged the idea that only a select few (like monarchs) should have absolute rule. Concepts like popular sovereignty (people's right to govern) emerged. Also, ideas about fairer wealth distribution (though not fully realized then) and workers' roles in decision - making (more democratic participation) were part of the intellectual ferment. These ideas undermined the old - order (monarchies, aristocratic privileges) and inspired revolutions seeking more just and inclusive governance.

Answer:

Enlightenment thinkers questioned who should participate in government and what rights a monarch had to rule.
