Vesnalui [34]3 years ago
4 0

Absolute Monarchy as a form of governance began in Europe after the end of feudalism mainly in 17th century. Absolute Monarchy simply means that the king is sole source of power and authority. He is above law or his word is itself a law.

European religious conflicts and decline of feudalism and origin of nation states were the reasons which lead to establishment of absolute monarchies in Europe. The people initially supported these absolute monarchs in order to bring peace and stability in the region.

The European Monarchs believed in Divine Rights of King i.e King is the representative of God on earth. We see the best example of absolute monarch in King Lious XIV which was fallowed by other European monarchs. He declared himself as Sun King i.e source of light for his subjects. He weakened the powers of nobility and made them to attend the court regularly, made all decisions of the government on his own, oversee religious affairs, levy taxes and declare war. He could take the advice of his ministers and secretaries but was not bound to their advice. It was the absolute monarchical system which made people to fight for a revolution in France and with French Revolution the absolute monarchical system began to decline Europe.

What factor encouraged many states to vote for ratification?
gulaghasi [49]

In the late 1780's, states were debating whether or not to ratify the Constitution. They were broken into two different state convention groups, those who were for and those who against ratification: the Federalists and the Antifederalists.

Federalists were in favor of a strong government and wanted the constitution passed as it was. The Antifederalists formed as opponents to the Federalists. They thought that the Constitution gave the central government too much power, and left the states with with not enough.

State constitutions usually included a bill of rights, which was missing from the Constitution of the United States. This was the main reason why certain states who were not in favor of ratification.

Eventually, the Federalists promised to add a bill of rights, after ratification. This was the main factor that encouraged many states to vote for ratification in the end.
