Was Louis XIV an enlightened despot?

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.

How did the general Sulla change the Roman government when he became dictator after taking power?

Sulla:

1 increased the number of officers of state elected in any given year

2 gave the newly elected quaestors gain automatic membership in the Senate.

These two reforms allowed Sulla to increase the size of the Senate (from 300 to 600 senators) and removed the need for the censor to draw up a list of senators

3 transferred the control of the courts from members of the equestrian order to the senators and increased the number of courts, thus strengthening the power of the senators.

4 Ended the role of the Assembly of the Soldiers as a court of appeal for capital punishment cases and of the Assembly of the Tribes as a court of appeal for other cases and transferred these to jury courts

5 codified and finalised the cursus honorum, the career ladder for public office, and set the minimum age to be eligible for each office

6 reaffirmed the requirement of ten years to elapse before being re-elected to any office.

7 established that the consuls and the praetors were to serve as provincial governors for the year after they left office.

Sulla also took measured to weaken the plebeian tribunes. They were deprived of the power to propose legislation to the Plebeian Council and the power to veto the acts of the senate. Ex-tribunes were prohibited from holding any other office. The tribunes' power to protect individuals remained intact. Not long after Sulla's death, these measures were repealed
