Who wrote the "Discourse on the Origin of Inequality" ?
Answer: B
The Discourse on the Origin of Inequality was written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
Rousseau wrote it in 1754 for an essay competition of the Academy of Dijon, and it was published in 1755. It argues that people in the state of nature were free and roughly equal, and that inequality grew with private property and organised society. Its ideas led on to his Social Contract (1762).
Voltaire is known for Candide and his attacks on religious intolerance, Montesquieu for The Spirit of the Laws and the separation of powers, and John Locke for the Two Treatises of Government. None of them wrote this discourse.
