Which enlightenment philosopher is most closely associated with the ideathat government exists only by consent of the people? a. jean-jacques rousseaub. john lockec. thomas hobbesd. baron de montesquieu

Hello.

The most suitable answer is B. John Locke.

John Locke was a british philosopher who wrote "Two Treatises of Government". In this work he explained the logic of government based on the CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED. He believed that the government exercised a political power over people, so its legitimacy, authority and moral right was justified and lawful only when people gave their consent.

Hope this helps.
