The purpose of rights is to protect people with no power, and let people have freedom of speech, press, and religion. Revolutions start when there is a failure to meet the needs of the lower class, since failure of certain rights and opportunities leads to radicalization. During the Enlightenment, when new thinkers came forward with groundbreaking philosophies, a vast number of people questioned the rights they received. Enlightenment thinkers, such as John Locke, shared these philosophies of basic human rights when citizens around the world were not getting these basic

Revolutions are even or uneven based on social class, and point of view of different economic, political, and social views. Revolution’s occur in separate ways, and almost always occur because of a combination of political, economic, and social problems.
