Absolutism is a political system and theory of government in which the king (or queen) is all-powerful and possesses a monopoly on the use of force and the administration of justice.
1. The King (or Queen) has an orderly and efficient bureaucracy where all power and directives flow downward from the monarch.
2. The King (or Queen) has a large standing army with which to enforce his (or her) will.
3. The power of any other groups or traditional institutions is suppressed, especially the power of the nobility as a class.
4. Absolute government is costly and usually requires heavy taxation for support.
5. Absolute government was justified by the theory of "divine right" monarchy in which the King (or Queen) was said to be God's anointed on the earth.
6. Absolute government depends heavily for its success on strong personality traits in the King (or Queen) as a personal symbol of the state/country.
