people thought Monarchy was some hard rule of humanity

it's lazy thinking
One fun thing is that in the 1700s during the enlightenment, absolute monarchy was a thing that was argued for by the smarties and not raged against. Many enlightenment thinkers wanted absolute enlightened dictators to counteract the feckless, dickless feudal systems they'd been living under. They did not in fact imagine any sort of democracy.
