Answer 1

Answer:

Absolute power should be returned to the monarch

Explanation:

As an advocate for the European balance of powers, he supported the Holy Alliance, seeing in it a power that would maintain the old conservative social order in Europe, based on the feudalism and absolutist rule of the monarch, and the only worthy force against liberal Napoleonic ideas.

Metternich feared the national aspirations of the Hungarian nobility as well as Panslavism, the idea of the cultural and political unity of the Slavs, an idea popular in Russia, where it was believed that this unity should be achieved under the leadership of Russia.
