Monarchism
It is more commonly referred to as an absolute monarchy; this is a type of monarchy where all power and authority is held by a singular individual typically referred to as King or Lord.
In some cultures they have also been referred to as god-kings either symbolically or in conjunction with the belief that they are actual descendants of a god.
Their right to rule may be accompanied by creative doctrines with titles such as 'The Divine Right of Kings' or 'The Mandate of Heaven' which are used to bolster the claim that no one should question their absolute authority.
This is in contrast to monarchs which have some limits on their power; a Constitutional Monarch is one in which the people (or a governing body appointed by the people) have put certain restrictions on the powers of the monarch. There are varying degrees to constitutional monarchy depending on the depth and detail of the restrictions imposed.

Absolute monarchs were not needed. It simply happened. When Charles I became an absolute monarch, he lost his head. When James II of England became an absolute monarch, he escaped England with his life. No one was willing to fight on his behalf. Kings simply try to gain more power for themselves just as presidents do.
