Answer:

it supported social and political change and reform from tradition.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Englightenment thinkers like Jean Jaques Rosseau, Robespierre and Voltaire questioned the scientific and social world they lived in. They advocated for reason.

The Englightenment led to the French Revolution which caused turmoil in France and later spread to neighbouring European nations.

They promoted ideas that criticized abuse caused by religion and conservative politics. Some also stood against Christianity and religion in general. The monarchs reacted back firing to the ideals of they promoted and a series of chaos took France later back to conservative rule.
