How did the enlightenment affect societies during the 17th and 18th centuries?

The Enlightenment affected societies mostly in the 18th century, as most historians put its first emergence after the death of Louis XIV in the early 18th century.Two Enlightenment philosophers have had the most impact: Montesquieu with his trias politica, which immediately influenced the way the US Administration was structured shortly afterwards on its independence; and which today is at the basis of most Western democracies' political structures.Rousseau's concept of the social contract (' a ruler does not rule by the grace of God but by the consent of the people, and loses his right to rule when he does not act for the good of the people") gave legitimacy to the French revolution in 1789.
