Whether absolutism or democracy is more effective depends on a specification of what is 'effective', the ability to measure (and strictly compare) that specification, and the implementation of that model on these types of governments. Unfortunately, in political theory, these questions are widely disagreed on, since the purpose, origin, and use of politics is a constant topic of debate, and one's take on these vital issues heavily guides their idea of effectiveness. For example, a Libertarian would likely represent effectiveness as negative freedom and, in this case, believe democracy is superior to absolutism. Conversely, a divine theorist may suppose that authority is delegated to an absolute authority by some objective right, and so absolutism is more effective (or morally justified) than democracy.
