1) Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged"
2) Karl Marx's "The Communist Manifesto"
3) Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
4) The Declaration of Indepedence
5) The Bible
6) Betty Friedan's "The Feminine Mystique"
I'd say all of those, in no particular order, have made some pretty big changes, among others.

Your looking for the word "incited" there...
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe threw things out of wack,
the Bible probably shook things up
the Koran,
the pamphlet "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine,
John Locke's "Two Treatises of Government" had a big hand in the ideas behind the Constitution of the United States,
and Luther's 95 Theses.
Some others: "A Modest Proposal" by Johnothan Swift, Thucydides' "History of the Peloponnesian War," which was translated by Thomas Hobbes who wrote "The Elements of Law, Natural and Political," "1984" by George Orwell has changed the way a lot of people view government, "De Republica" by Plato, and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain. There are others, of course.

Charles Dickens.....he worte about the social woes of England at the time......look him up.
Try:
Harper Lee's ' To Kill a Mockingbird'
I am guessing "insighted" = incited.....
