a. He pushed for social reform.
b. He advocated for a state religion.
c. He encouraged absolute monarchy.
d. He worked to end constitutional government.
The correct answer is a. He pushed for social reform.
He disliked religion because he believed that the Catholic religion was a fraud that worked so that the church gets richer and richer. He resented absolute monarchy because he believed that monarchs have no right to rule. He wanted to introduce a constitution, not end them.
