the competition among italian city-states for power
AnswerAbsolute monarchs are people who forcefully take power by either gaining their power from the army or having a powerful family that had many followers. I believe that absolute monarchs are dumb for even trying to forcefully take power from the people while also knowing that they were going to sometime fall. Also knowing that if they finally fall, that means DEATH!!!!!!
Generally speaking, monarchy was either transferred on the death of a monarch to one of their offspring - generally the eldest male, or to the person who killed the monarch (in battle or otherwise) and who then assumed power as the 'strongest' in the land - i.e. the person with the best army!
In general terms, monarchs in early England, France, and the Holy Roman Empire consolidated their power in at least the following ways: First, they solidified the support of noble families small and large, whether through intimidation, placation, or some combination. Second, they levied taxes or otherwise ensured sufficient revenue to support the monarchy in peace and in war. Third, they established (or, more firmly established) connections with Church authorities. Finally, they constructed fortifications, established garrisons, and otherwise exerted a military presence in their territory.
Most of the renaissance monarchs controlled many aspects of government by imposed tariffs, the military and religion. Many monarchs ruled in theory that only one should be head of the affairs of the state.

the power of absolute monarchs is unlimited
That depends where they are King, and how much power their ancestors gave away. The current Monarchs of United kingdom, Denmark or Belgium do not really have much power, but on the other hand Sultan Qaboos of Oman has total power in his country.

The state power of European countries mostly grew due to the degradation of the church. With the Renaissance and Enlightenment art becoming more and more secular, it grew further and further from the Catholic Church. With the Church being left behind quickly, the secularism grew, taking away powers from the clergy. This gave monarchs more power. As a result, you can see that most European monarchs had exquisite paintings and magnificent palaces reflecting the architecture of the time, for example, the Palace of Versailles.
The Enlightenment valued reason and questioned the power of monarchs. The proliferation of Enlightenment ideals greatly influenced the creation of the United States.
