Through most of its history, however, the idea of the nation was not viewed as a political distinction. Nations were largely cultural groups which sometimes governed themselves (the French and the English), sometimes were governed by external powers (the Italians and the Scots) and sometimes were spread out in a variety of states (the Jews and the Slavs). During the Enlightment period of the 18th century, however, the concept of the nation began to be seen as a political as well as a cultural distinction
Enlightment philosophers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-78) were interested in how political communities can come about. They believed that apart from the monarchy the only thing binding the poeple together to form a government is the nation.
