Absolutism was only possible in Europe after the sovereigns were able to overcome the local vested power of nobles, through the use of national armies without local agglomeration. However, during the feudal period, English nobles (barons) forced the monarchy to guarantee their legal position with the Magna Carta. As a result, when the English monarchy would finally be militarily capable of asserting absolutism, it was effectively prevented from doing so because of the barons' power in Parliament. Conversely, French, Spanish, Prussian, Austrian, and Russian nobles did not have these protections and lost power as monarchs became more capable of consolidating their power under absolutism.

Absolutism in England differed from that in the rest of Europe primarily due to the establishment of constitutional limits on royal power, particularly after the English Civil War and the Glorious Revolution. While monarchs like Louis XIV of France wielded unchecked power, England's monarchy became subject to parliamentary authority, resulting in a constitutional monarchy. Additionally, England experienced significant political and social upheaval that curtailed absolute rule, whereas other European countries, such as Spain and Austria, maintained more centralized and autocratic regimes. This distinction helped to foster a unique political landscape in England that emphasized the rule of law and individual rights.
