A monarch is a sovereign head of state, often hereditary, who holds significant power and authority over a kingdom or territory. An enlightened despot, on the other hand, is a specific type of monarch who embraces Enlightenment principles, such as reason, science, and the welfare of their subjects, while maintaining absolute power. Unlike traditional monarchs, enlightened despots may implement reforms aimed at improving society and governance, though they still retain control rather than establishing democratic systems. Examples include rulers like Frederick the Great of Prussia and Catherine the Great of Russia.

An enlightened despot was a ruler who?
Supposedly an enlightened despot was a monarch who tried to adapt modern ideas into their rule. But, the term enlightened despot is highly contradictory because enlightened indicated modernization of ideas and change, whereas despot carries the denotation of clinging to tradition and the past. So, essentially the monarchs called themselves enlightened despots to gain public appeal, but they were not enlightened despots- it's impossible to be one. That's be like being a carnivorous vegetarian; laughably impossible.
