What is absolutism?
• Textbook definition:– “When a ruler has complete authority over the
government and the lives of the people”
• What’s so new about this?– Degree of power– Depth & scope of powers claimed
![Page 3: Absolute Monarchs Chap 16 Phillip II Louis XIV Peter the Great.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e265503460f94b163aa/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Hallmarks of absolutism• Divine right claims
– “The king is king because God made him king”
– “I answer to God alone”
• Attempts to control all in realm– Religious groups, nobles, local govts.
– Through favors or suppression
– A heavy-handed approach to creating unity
Yes, I know - this guy gets annoying after a while.

Hallmarks of absolutism
• Control over financial machinery– King controls the money– No longer has to ask nobles for money– Raise $ through Taxes, customs duties (tariffs),
& other financial schemes– System of tax collectors whose job is to go
around and collect money

Hallmarks of absolutism
• Massive bureaucracies– True civil servants
– Paid by state, represented the king
– Men owed their wealth & position to employment
• Thus usually loyal & grateful to king

Hallmarks of absolutism
• Standing armies– The medieval system abandoned
• Feudal obligation of 40 days’ service thrown out
– Why standing (full time) armies were needed?– The benefits of standing armies?– The burden of standing armies?
• Do the math: How much does it cost to feed an army of 200,000 men every day, 3 times a day.
