I apologize for the incorrect response. The correct policy practiced by Louis XIV, Peter the Great, and Frederick the Great is "absolutism".
The policy practiced by Louis XIV, Peter the Great, and Frederick the Great is "enlightened despotism."
The policy practiced by Louis XIV, Peter the Great, and Frederick the Great was "enlightened despotism."
To arrive at this answer, we can go through each option and eliminate them:
1. Westernization: While both Peter the Great and Frederick the Great implemented various Western reforms, this policy was not exclusively practiced by Louis XIV. Additionally, Louis XIV focused more on centralizing his power and strengthening absolute monarchy rather than Westernizing his country through reforms.
2. Religious tolerance: Louis XIV, known for his policy of religious conformity, enforced Catholicism as the state religion of France and revoked the rights of Protestant Huguenots. Peter the Great and Frederick the Great also did not prioritize religious tolerance in their territories.
3. Expansionism: While all three rulers engaged in territorial expansion to some degree, this policy was not unique to them alone. Many historical figures pursued expansionist policies, and it does not capture the specific policy practiced by Louis XIV, Peter the Great, and Frederick the Great.
Therefore, the correct answer is "enlightened despotism." This refers to the practice where an absolute monarch holds considerable power but also implements reforms inspired by the Enlightenment ideals of intellectual and social progress, albeit in accordance with their personal interests and goals. Louis XIV, Peter the Great, and Frederick the Great were known for their autocratic rule but also implemented various reforms to modernize and strengthen their respective states.
