    I'm pretty sure John Locke is the one who believed every man had the right to land, liberty, and property, which was and is a big deal because of social classes. The French regime had 3

    social classes and Lockes ideas lead to an uprising by the working class. The lower class paid about 90-97% of the taxes, was the majority of the population, and received the least amount of money. Whereas the clergy and nobility paid next to nothing because they were "friends" with Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI (i think its the 16 or 15). Basically the lower class was treated poorly and Locke's ideas were appealing.
