Well I have to say that those both sound very intriguing. On one hand, I lean towards the first one due to my interest in The Enlightenment. I also enjoy seeing tyrants get there comeuppance. On the other hand I enjoy stories that follow the protagonist as they progress on a journey meeting deplorable characters, and then watching as their plight becomes more and more disturbing (not sure if that's what you had in mind, but that's what came to my mind).

I would just start with the one that you've spent the most time thinking about. If you've thought about them equally, then I suggest flipping a coin, because these are both ripe with possibilities. I don't really have any advice on altering the concepts because there's no way for me to know how they'll turn out (execution is much more important and easier to judge), but it seems like you're willing to put effort into your work, so I look forward to reading either of them. Good luck!
