Full Essay Question/ Topic:
France under Louis XIV was considered the best example of an absolute monarchy. Provide your own definition of an absolute monarchy and reflect on the way such a political system is or is not absolute. Why do you think Louis XIV embraced this particular political model? What specific measures in administrative, economic, military, cultural, and religious policy did he promote to enhance his absolutist power? Remember that you are being asked to be specific and connect particular policies and practices of the king and his government to the very idea of absolutism. What was the significance of the political model Louis XIV created for France and for Europe? Did other European rulers copy Louis XIV or not? Why? Do you see a need for a contemporary political system to be centered on a strong leader controlling all branches of the government, or not? How so? Please elaborate.
