The decline of absolute monarchs can be attributed to the rise of democratic ideals and the push for human rights, which have led to greater demands for political participation and accountability.

Additionally, many absolute monarchies faced internal and external pressures, such as economic challenges and social movements, prompting them to adopt more constitutional frameworks to maintain stability. As a result, few absolute monarchs remain, with many having transitioned to constitutional or parliamentary systems.
Other European monarchs feared the rise of revolutionary ideas, particularly those stemming from the Enlightenment, which emphasized individual rights and questioned absolute authority. They were concerned that such ideologies could inspire uprisings similar to the French Revolution, threatening their own power and the stability of their regimes. Additionally, the spread of nationalism posed a risk to multi-ethnic empires, leading to potential fragmentation and loss of control over diverse territories. These fears drove many monarchs to suppress dissent and maintain strict control over their governments.
