In the 17th century, monarchs developed their power through the consolidation of authority, often leveraging the concept of divine right to justify their rule. They centralized governance by reducing the influence of nobles and local governments, strengthening bureaucracies, and maintaining standing armies. Additionally, many monarchs expanded their influence through strategic marriages, territorial conquests, and colonial ventures, which increased their wealth and resources. This period also saw the emergence of absolute monarchy, where rulers like Louis XIV epitomized the idea of a sovereign wielding unchecked power.
