The philosophes (French for "philosophers") were the intellectuals of the 18th-century Enlightenment. Few were primarily philosophers; rather, philosophes were public intellectuals who applied reason to the study of many areas of learning, including philosophy, history, science, politics, economics, and social issues. They had a critical eye and looked for weaknesses and failures that needed improvement. They promoted a "republic of letters" that crossed national boundaries and allowed intellectuals to freely exchange books and ideas. Most philosophes were men, but some were women.
They strongly endorsed progress and tolerance and distrusted organized religion (most were deists) and feudal institutions.[2] Many contributed to Diderot's Encyclopédie. They faded away after the French Revolution reached a violent stage in 1793.

Which of these would you find in a monarchy but not in a democracy?
horrorfan [7]

I would say the best answer to this question would be option C "unelected head of state." Just because monarchy is like a kingdom and the throne can be handed down to anyone who doesn't have to be elected. It isn't none of the other options because the United States has a democracy and also has a constitution, political parties, and representatives who make laws. While monarchy is ran by a king.

Hope this helps.
