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.
