Historians refer to a monarch with limitless power as an "absolute monarch." In this system, the monarch has complete control over the government and is not bound by a constitution or laws. Absolute monarchs often justify their rule through divine right or by claiming that their authority is derived solely from their status as sovereign leaders. Examples include Louis XIV of France and Peter the Great of Russia.
