Louis XIV of France demonstrated his absolute power through various means, including the centralization of authority and the control of the nobility. He famously declared, "L'État, c'est moi" ("I am the state"), asserting his role as the embodiment of the nation. By relocating the royal court to Versailles, he diminished the power of the nobles and asserted his dominance, using lavish displays of wealth and elaborate ceremonies to reinforce his authority. Additionally, he exercised control over the military and religious institutions, further consolidating his power and minimizing checks on his rule.
