Question

Which of these situations would not be possible in a society ruled by an absolute monarch?

Answer 1

A. A group of government officials elects a new leader to replace an unpopular king

Answer 2

The correct option is A

Absolute monarchy is a form of government in which the king has absolute power. In it there is no division of powers (executive, legislative and judicial). Although the administration of justice may have a relative autonomy in relation to the king, or there may be parliamentary institutions, the absolute monarch may change the decisions or rulings of the courts in the last resort or reform the laws at his will (The word of the king is law ). Appoint and withdraw your assistants in government at your will. The unity of all powers is usually considered justified because it considers that the source of power is God and that monarchs exercise sovereignty by divine right of kings. There are no mechanisms by which the sovereign (who does not recognize superiors) responds by his acts, if not before God himself.
