Louis XIV ruled his country as an absolute monarch for 72 years. This meant that no one could challenge him and his word was law.

Under his rule, the king’s command was law.  Critics who challenged the king were punished.  To control the nobles, Louis built a large palace at Versailles.  Leading nobles were expected to spend most of the year at the royal court, under the watchful eye of the king.  

Louis also interfered in the economic and religious lives of his subjects.  He demanded that Protestants convert to Catholicism or leave France.  Finally, Louis involved his subjects in a series of wars to expand France’s frontiers and bring glory to his rule.

Hobbes believed that kings were justified in assuming absolute power because only they could maintain order in a society.

Hobbes concludes by saying that peace is preferable to war under the Commonwealth of the Absolute Monarch. However, Hobbes contends that since men are inherently violent, this must also be true of the monarch as it is of every other individual human being. If so, the monarch and his subjects would be at war.
