Explanation:

Question 24

Enlightenment thinkers emphasized reason. Option A is incorrect as they didn't call for an end to government. Option C is incorrect as they didn't support peasant rebellions. Option B aligns with their goal of a just society based on reason.

Rousseau's idea of the social contract involves people (the general will) making laws and everyone obeying. Option A is against his view (rulers imposing laws). Option C is incorrect as he believed in laws from the general will. So B is correct.

Joseph II's reforms, though enlightened, faced resistance. Most of his reforms were dissolved after his rule. Option B is incorrect as they weren't continued. Option C is incorrect as his reforms aimed at broader changes, not just nobility. So A is correct.

Answer:

B. by calling for a just society based on reason.
