Monarchs felt threatened.
The Enlightenment thinkers' ideas challenged the traditional authority of monarchs, promoting ideas such as individual rights, social contract, and the separation of powers. These ideas advocated for limitations on the power of monarchies and the establishment of constitutional governments based on the consent of the governed. As a result, monarchs felt threatened by these ideas as they saw it as a challenge to their absolute authority and their divine right to rule.
