Explanation:

The Enlightenment was a political-cultural movement that expressed the needs and desires of bourgeois society of the eighteenth century, the "century of lights." This movement denounced errors and vices of the Old Regime, paving the way for various social movements. The Enlightenment preached the freedom of the individual and exalted the use of reasoning, and they were against any tyranny of the government and believed that the people should overthrow any system that tried to hinder their freedoms.

For this reason, we can conclude that among the options given in the question, the one that most clearly reflects the Enlightenment principle of addressing a broken social contract is the letter A.

- "about the claims : -

making a claim is just a fancy way of saying that you're stating your main point.' claims are not just opinions. a claim tells what you think is true about a topic based on your knowledge .

about the country claims : -

a counterclaim is just the opposite of a claim. counterclaims are also provable and supportable by reasons and evidence. not just, 'because i said so.' when you're planning an argument, you need to know what the counterclaim might be so that you can make sure that you disprove it with your reasons and evidence your research." - (catherineroberts)
