In an Absolute Monarchy the Monarch is given absolute rule. For one example you can look at Ivan the Great of Russia. He limited the power of the land-owning nobles and centralized royal power. Or, you can look at King Philip II of Spain. He established complete authority over the government and lives of the people he governed. By looking at Charles X of France, you can get a more clear view of an Absolute Monarchy. He limited the right to vote, restricted the press, and suspended the legislature. Thomas Hobbes outlined his belief of the ideal government in his book Leviathan. This form of government that he stated was much like an Absolute Monarchy. He believed that citizens entered into a social contract in which they give up their state of nature for an organized society. In this form of government the ruler could impose order and compel obedience.
