Enlightenment does not happen by consensus and principles do not become "outdated" otherwise they would not be principles and a basic principle of the Courts is to protect the politically weak from oppressive majorities. The courts may or may not block a progressive idea that some consensus views as enlightened or they may not. All most all court rulings are based on the very narrow facts of the case. Thus, if a court upholds a progressive idea that some consensus views as enlightened they did so, most likely, because of the facts of the case.

Enlightened Despots were a subset of absolute monarchs that made legal, social, and educational reforms in accordance with Enlightenment principles. All Enlightened Despots were absolute monarchs, but there were a number of European absolute monarchs that were not Enlightened Despots.
Frederick II (the Great) was king of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. He was an absolute ruler and considered to be the greatest of the Enlightened Despots. Enlightened monarchs embraced the principles of the Enlightenment, which included the reform of society using reason, scientific thought, skepticism, and intellect.
Enlightened absolutists, such as Catherine the Great of Russia and Frederick the Great of Prussia, sought to rule as enlightened rulers by implementing some Enlightenment principles, such as religious tolerance, legal reform, and education. They believed in using their power to bring about positive social and administrative reforms while maintaining their authority as monarchs.
The philosophies and enlightenment ideas influenced the enlightened despots by promoting concepts such as reason, natural rights, and the social contract theory. This led to reforms such as religious tolerance, education, and legal reforms in their respective countries. The enlightened despots believed in using their power to improve society based on these principles.
Enlightened absolutism was a form of rule where monarchs ruled with absolute power while incorporating Enlightenment principles into their governance, such as religious tolerance and legal reforms. King Frederick the Great of Prussia is often cited as an example of a ruler who practiced enlightened absolutism by implementing policies to benefit his subjects while maintaining his autocratic authority.
