Best Answer

When Frederick the Great rose to power after his abusive and aggressive father, he hoped to extend the Prussian Empire and acted as an Enlightened Absolutist, meaning he embraced ideas of the Enlightenment. Although some regard Frederick the Great as being a greedy military ruler only seeking to increase the power of Prussia, it is evident that he acted as a trailbrazer in the acceptance of new tolerant ideas created during the Enlightenment.
