Locke's "Two Treatises of Government" was published in 1689, Rousseau's "The Social Contract" in 1762, and Montesquieu's "The Spirit of the Laws" in 1748. These works were produced during the Enlightenment, a period in the 17th and 18th centuries characterized by an emphasis on reason, individualism, and a questioning of traditional authority. This era significantly influenced modern political thought and the development of democratic principles.
