Absolutism is the political regime that is characterized by the meeting of all powers in a single person. These political regimens are more commonly seen in monarchies and as such the French monarchy was no different.

Louis XIV was the best example of an absolute ruler, his infamous quote "I am the state" was statement that came from the steps it took to make it possible for him to rule unquestioned.

These included:

  • Subjugating the noble class
  • Creation of a bureaucratic state
  • Collecting taxes for the crown
  • A loyal and large army
  • Religious uniformity (Henry IV converted to catholicism in order to rule the largely catholic predominant country)

All these steps and policies along with help from Richelieu (eliminating domestic factions and restraining the power of the nobility), Mazarin (advocating the divine right of kings) and Colbert (raising taxes and tariffs to aid the State treasury of France) made it possible for the consolidation of the French monarchy in the 17th century.

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.
