John Locke (1632-1704)John Locke was English philosopher who formulated one of the most influential theories of contractual government. He theorized that individuals granted political rights to their rulers but retained personal right to life, liberty and property and that any ruler that violated those rights was subject to disposition. In effect, Locke's political thought relocated sovereignty, removing it from rulers as divine agents and vesting it in the people of a society.Louis XVI (reigned 1774-1793)King Louis XVI was the king of France. He was able to raise more revenue from the overburdened peasantry, so he sought to increase taxes on the French nobility, which had long been exempt from many levies. In May 1789, he called the Estates General into session at the royal palace of Versailles in hopes that it would authorize new taxes. After revolution was declared, he became a victim of the guillotine along with his wife, Queen Marie Antoinette after being found guilty of treason.Maximilien Robespierre (1758-1794)Maximilien Robespierre was a lawyer by training who had emerged during the revolution as a ruthless but popular, radical known as "the Incorruptible". He dominated the Committee of Public Safety, the executive authority of the Republic. He helped to promote the revolutionary agenda.

D. people who made more money pay a higher percentage in taxes
The People's Party, or Populists, wanted an income tax put into place that would require the wealthy to pay a higher percentage of taxes than lower income brackets.
Many of the goals of the Populist Party were to bring down the power and wealth of the top 1% by making them contribute more to the overall well-being of the country. An income tax would bring in more revenue and reduce the wealth of the most powerful. This would also allow the government to reduce taxes paid by farmers to use transportation systems.
