Question

What do Louis XIV, Tsar Peter the Great, and Tokugawa Ieyasu have in common? A) A short reign B) Absolute rulers C) Ruled in Europe D) Revolution ended rule

Answer 1

Answer: Absolute rulers

Explanation:

All three personalities are characterized by absolutist value, concentrated in the hands of one man. The essence of their rule is not subject to laws, and they created and transposed the judges at their discretion.

A characteristic form of this rule is the absolutist monarchy, which, as we can see from this example, was not typical only of the European continent. A good number of absolutist rulers appealed to the will of God concerning their rule. Absolutism is characteristic of the beginning of a historical period called the New Age.
