Montesquie-the seperation of powers, they used this as a basis to set up governments other than monarchies

Voltaire-Social Reform, peasants should be taken care of just as much as nobles
The French tried to twisted his idea of religious rejection to completely get rid of all religion

Locke-people are equally important so peasants had an identity just as important as nobles

Hope i helped; good luck!
