Detailed Solution

Absolutism refers to a monarchical form of government.
Absolute sovereignty and unrestricted, concentrated power, particularly granted to a monarch, are political doctrines and practices. Its main point is that no judicial, legislative, religious, economic, or electoral body has the authority to regularly oppose or check the ruling power. Although it has been done throughout history, Louis XIV is regarded as the pinnacle of European absolutism, and the form that emerged in early modern Europe (16th–18th century) became the template. Because the right to govern derived from God, the king seized religious power and became the head of the church and the state. The "Sun King," King Louis XIV of France, is reputed to have proclaimed, "I am the state," which is maybe the best illustration of the power an absolute monarch possesses in politics.
