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.
