he wanted to kill all monarchs, even benevolent and responsible ones.

Explanation:

Rousseau believed in the general will of the people and that when leaders are corrupt and go against the common - good, the people have the right to revolt. This was revolutionary as it challenged the existing power structures and the divine - right of kings ideology. The idea of separation of powers was Montesquieu's, not Rousseau's, and there is no evidence that Rousseau wanted to kill all monarchs.

Answer:

B. He supported the right of the people to revolt against corrupt leaders.
