Absolute Power in all sector of life was key. This power allowed French monarchs to portray themselves as practically gods. Louis XIV was called the "Sun King" because of his immense power.
The Kings of France held absolute authority, but they did not govern alone. The task of running a nation was too much for one man. As a result, French monarchs would often appoint ministers to advise him and take care of the details that the King did not have time or interest for. These men were nobles and members of old, rich French families that were looked upon favorably by the crown. Ministers for War, Finances, and Trade were common.
French monarchs also had the absolute power to tax. Unlike in England, where the right to tax was restricted by an elected parliament, French monarchs could tax as they wished. However, this did not always work out well because the burdens of taxation fell mostly on the poor working class. Clergy and the aristocracy were exempt from most taxes. Additionally, French kings always spent more than they were bringing in from taxes, so an immense national debt resulted, and would eventually come to head with civil unrest during the 1780's

Why am i aweseom?
An absolute monarch is a head of state who governs unconstrained by any substantive constitutional law. The advantages of Absolute Monarchy lie in the concentration of power and responsibility in the person of the monarch. Where the local culture includes no tradition of peaceful power sharing, absolute monarchy may be an attractive alternative. The disadvantages can be readily discerned from the very small list of nations which continue to be ruled by absolute monarchs. While these nations may be adequately governed most nations have moved away from this system of government. Of those that remain Absolute Monarchies most are small and economically underdeveloped. All remaining Absolute Monarchies appear on the list of failed nation states.
