To arrive at this answer, we need to understand the concept of absolute power and evaluate the given statements based on that understanding. Absolute power refers to a form of governance in which a ruler has complete and unrestricted authority over a state or country.
The first statement suggests that Louis XIV's power, although more absolute than any previous French ruler, was still limited. This contradicts the definition of absolute power, as it implies that there were restrictions on Louis XIV's authority. Therefore, this statement does not align with the concept of absolute power.
The second statement accurately characterizes Louis XIV as ruling without any legal limitations on his authority. It emphasizes his absolute rule and implies that he served as a role model for future European rulers. This idea corresponds with the notion of absolute power, making this option the correct answer.
The third statement claims that Louis XIV was one of the most successful absolute rulers in history, but it does not address whether his power was more absolute than other rulers'. Additionally, it does not provide enough justification for why he was considered successful. Therefore, it does not provide a clear explanation of his absolute power.
The fourth statement acknowledges some limitations on Louis XIV's power but still portrays him as an absolute ruler overall. While this option recognizes that he faced constraints like other rulers, it doesn't sufficiently emphasize his absolute authority. As such, it is not the most accurate explanation of Louis XIV's rule.
