Absolutism (Political)

Absolute ism allows the government to set down a set of clear and simple rules, which avoids disagreement and conflict in society as opinion and consequence aren't taken into account in the situation.

This also creates more equality within the government as the same rules (should) be applied to everyone for every situation

It also is easy to live life by

The Age of Absolutism was named because during this time many countries were ruled by monarchies. These monarchies had one ruler with absolute power over their country, land, and people. An example of an absolute monarch would be Tsars of Russia.

An absolute state is a grammatical term for when a noun is not linked to another noun.

How can a dictator be enlightened? The two ideals are completely the opposite of each other. To achieve enlightenment one must come to terms with their own flaws, appreciating at the same time that everyone is equally flawed (in their own way obviously). From this comes the ability to accept everyone's beliefs equally, and to value their differences of opinion. This is in direct contrast with the fundamentals of a dictatorship. Therefore, Napoleon was not an enlightened dictator.

The original response is 100% wrong and id like to correct them

Napoleon was most certainly a enlightened dictator for every flaw he had an achievement to make up for it

Did the original poster know that Napoleon was the first person in France to ever propose freedom of religion and stood with it until it was passed

In history many times people get skewed in the eye of the people for the necessary actions they must take

Napoleon was a hero he was the only thing that helped the french survive after the revolution and acted in the peoples best interest

So yes Napoleon is a Enlightened dictator and deserves the title

Napoleon's domestic policy, "was his greatest legacy to France"

Absolutism was a purposeful attempt by European rulers to extend their control in the lands they ruled.

It passes from reigning monarch to legitimate heir when the reigning monarch dies or abdicates. The specifics of what defines a legitimate heir depends on the absolute monarchy. In some monarchies, the family member must be male -- but in others it can be female. In some monarchies, it must be a child of the current monarch -- but in others it can be a sibling. In some monarchies, if there is no immediate family, a new royal family is sought -- but in others, a more distant family member is sought.

Hitler was elected to the Chancellorship in 1933, but he was not an absolute ruler at that point. He consolidated power through several targeted attacks on his opponents and finally consolidated complete power in the mid-1930s. By the time he had begun his offensive strides against the Saarland, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Poland, he was an absolute ruler. This continued until he was an absolute ruler across the most of Europe. His luck changed when he tried to take over Russia. When he tried to take over Russia, he lost and then Russia turned against him and slowly Germany was starting to become beaten. Germany then lost the war.

French revolution

France was an absolute monarchy before the revolution, as it had been for hundreds of years. It meant that the reigning King had absolute power. That was what the revolutionists wanted to get rid of.

It also meant France had 3 estates: the clergy (1st estate), the nobility (2nd estate) and the bourgeoisie (3rd estate). The first 2 estates had a lot of privileges and did not have to pay taxes, even though they were the richest. The revolutionists wanted more equality in France and the abolition of privileges for the clergy and especially the nobility. They wanted a cabinet of ministers chosen by the people instead of chosen by the King. They also clamored for freedom of speech, religion and press.

But the revolutionists turned radical and extreme, and instead of wanting a constitutional monarchy, they spiraled down into the reign of terror, killing thousands of people, including their King and Queen.
