Question

For what reason would the French Monarchy censor Enlightenment ideas?

Answer 1

Answer: Because the Enlightenment as a movement sought to take away the primacy of religion and politics.

Explanation:

The Enlightenment as a movement emerged in Europe, primarily France. According to its principles, the Enlightenment advocated views contrary to politics and religion. The ideas of the Enlightenment were based on freedom, nature, and reason. Such views were against the principles of forms of government such as the absolutist monarchy. Hence the political opposition to the Enlightenment movement.
