What was the absolute monarchy political structure called?

Answer 1

In an absolute monarchy, the monarch, usually titled as a King or Queen, has absolute power. In theory the monarch exercises this total power on his own, but usually in practice they're counter-balanced by the political groups found in the social classes they rule over.

Answer 2

Monarchy:

A government that has a single person who is generally considered the ruler by the title and birthright. Titles include: Czar, King, Queen, Emperor, Caesar, etc... Power is absolute and is either taken through conquest or passed down to family members without regard for ability or appropriateness. Society is formed around feudal groups or tribes in which the ruling family delegates power and authority based upon the desires of a single individual. Power struggles are common. A monarchy is based upon a class system where those of a certain birthright are perceived to be of superior intellect and strength to those not of the same family line. The resources and wealth of a country is generally preserved solely for the hedonistic and self-fulfilling desires of the reigning monarch with little regard for the general population or its welfare. The inhabitants of a country under a monarch are alive to serve the monarch. In contrast the inhabitants of a republic are served by the their leaders, in theory.

Constitutional Monarchy:

Constitutional monarchy or limited monarchy is a form of government established under a constitutional system which acknowledges a hereditary or elected monarch as head of state, as opposed to an absolute monarchy where the monarch is not bound by a constitution and is the sole source of political power. The process of government and law within a constitutional monarchy is usually very different from that in an absolute monarchy.

Most constitutional monarchies take on a parliamentary form where the monarch may be regarded as the head of state but the prime minister, who derives power directly or indirectly from elections, is head of government.

Constitutional Monarchy is similar to the Republic system where instead of an hereditary King as its head it has a President elected every so many years. In both these cases the King or the President have little power, but power is vested in the Parliament under the guide of the Prime Minister who is elected from time to time.

The Republics of United States and that of France are a variation on the theme, where more power is vested in the President.
