Constitutional monarchy developed in England largely due to the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which established parliamentary sovereignty and limited the powers of the monarchy, reflecting the influence of Enlightenment ideas and the rising power of the bourgeoisie. In contrast, Russia maintained an absolute monarchy under leaders like Peter the Great and Catherine the Great, who centralized power and resisted reform movements, leading to a lack of strong institutional checks on the monarchy. Additionally, England's relatively stable political landscape allowed for gradual reforms, while Russia faced more turmoil and resistance to change, reinforcing autocratic rule.

What is the difference between constitutional monarchy and an absolute monarchy?

In a constitutional monarchy, like in England, the monarch does not have much power at all, because there is a constitution. In an absolute monarchy, they have absolute power. In a constitutional monarchy, the power of the monarch is limited by some set of rules or document (e.g. a constitution), which sets out the powers given to the monarch. Other powers are given to other groups, commonly judges and a legislature. How much power is given to each group and the monarch varies widely, and is entirely up to the constitution of the country in question. In an absolute monarchy, the monarch is presumed to be God-(or other deity)-ordained, and rules with no limits on their power.
