1. What is Absolutism?
2. What is Divine Right?
1. Absolutism is a political theory that advocates for a form of government where a single ruler has complete and absolute power, typically unchecked by any other governing body or system of laws. Examples of absolutist rulers include Louis XIV of France and Peter the Great of Russia.
2. Divine Right is the belief that a monarch's right to rule is granted by God, and therefore their authority is absolute and not subject to questioning or challenge by the people or any other authority. This concept was often used to justify absolutist rule in many European monarchies.
