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.

Answer:
B. He normalizes his experiences at first but eventually understands that his internment was not an example of democracy at its best.
Explanation:
According to a different source, this question refers to the text "Why I Love a Country that Once Betrayed Me" by George Takei. These are the options that come with this question:
A. He comes to realize that his internment was relatively easy compared to other Japanese Americans.
B. He normalizes his experiences at first but eventually understands that his internment was not an example of democracy at its best.
C. He begins to view his internment as a betrayal by America and loses faith in the ideals he once associated with it.
D. He appreciates the internment camps as a child and isn’t able to understand the injustice of the government’s actions until he is an adult.
This is the statement that best describes how Takei's understanding of the internment developed over time. In this text, Takei tells us that, when he was a child and was going through the experience of internment, he normalized it. He thought of the camp as his home, and thought the activities they engaged in to be normal. However, when he grew older, he realized that the experience was not normal, nor was it desirable or an example of a good democracy. This led him to realize that even a democratic government was fallible.
Answer: No other European power had established a presence in the area.
In the early 19th century, Russia had already established some colonies in Alaska, securing its presence in America. Russia was expanding East, across Siberia, and eventually started moving south, until it reached Northern California.
Americans who were involved in the sea otter business proposed some joint hunting expeditions with Russian supervisors and Native Alaskan hunters to hunt seals along the Californian coast. These expeditions allowed the Russian parties to observe large stretches of uncolonized land. This led to the conclusion that a Russian settlement could be established in California.
