A. Thomas Hobbes was born in 1588, and according to legend, his mother went into labor the moment she heard about the sighting of the Spanish fleet during the year of the Spanish Armada. This is important because Hobbes was imprinted from his youth with a deep and abiding sense of fear that never left him. He wanted order above all things, and came to believe that only an all powerful "Leviathan" could provide the safety he so desperately craved. --- EDIT: I'm just using his birth as an example. But by his own admission (See link) he was raised in fear. And it was his fear that motivated him to absolutism. Of course the instability of England during the Civil War helped a great deal to reinforce it.

What are the limits to a constitutional AND absolute monarchy?

Asked by bubbles19994 - Wed Dec 17 17:36:21 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Here is my simple understanding: Absolute monarchy is when the monarch controls everything. Example: Brunei Sultanate. The Sultan is the head of the country, the head on the government, the defense minister, ruling everything in the country. However, this doesn't mean that the Sultan's family is free from the law if they break it. Constitutional monarchy is when the reign is the head of the country but usually not the head of the government. This happens in the UK, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan... The people have a periodical general election to vote for their head of government.

Q. Is an absolute monarchy kinda like Fidel Castro?
Asked by tati067 - Tue Sep 22 18:46:29 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In a monarchy, a member of the nobility, usually a king or queen, rule as a dictator. There is no legislative branch, and the judiciary branch would be there to apply the law, not to interpret it or rule on its legality. In a democracy, the people vote directly on issues and politicians. Castro wouldn't know democracy if he tripped on it on his way to the dungeons where he throws his political disidents. He isn't a monarchy, either, because the idea behind a noble class is that they should be, well, noble. Better than the commoners they lord over, more intelligent and wiser. Castro is ignorant, unlearned, and incapable of caring for the people on whose backs he has stood on for decades.

A. OK... this is a more complicated question than I first thought... China is technically more of a constitutional monarchy due to the presence of the National People's Congress. I am not sure it can really be pigeon-holed into one of these categories. It isn't a true democracy despite having elections. It is not an absolute monarchy, and it is not a dictatorship. This is how wikipedia describes their constitution: The PRC Constitution was first created on September 20, 1954. Before that, an interim Constitution-like document created by the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was in force.

A. Efficiency, the process of trying to come to consensus with the general public or their elected officials is very expensive and time consuming. --- The Sultan of Brunei is an example of an absolute monarch who does not have a cruel regime. However, his standard of living is possibly one of the most excessive in the world. He owns 3000 to 6000 automobiles, including over 500 Rolls Royces. He lives in the world's largest palace with a floor area of 49.4 acres; and has seven jets (including a personal Boeing 747) plus 2 helicopters. He has been acussed of buying western women as sex slaves. --- Not everyone cares about freedom.

Why did england become a constitutional monarchy while france became an absolute monarchy?

Asked by robotsheep - Tue Nov 27 22:28:27 2007 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments

A. After the Hundred Years War, the English barons remain rich and powerful. Years later, when King John overtaxed them and seemed to step on their traditional powers, they demanded a document stating their rights, the Magna Carta. The idea took root that even a king was subject to the law (woe came to any English king that fully tried to exert supreme power over his barons and eventually Parliament). This eventually lead to a constitutional monarchy. In France, the barons didn't have the power of the English barons (those that did once have it were killed during the war). The French king kept consolidating his power until he was the ultimate power in France.

A. Interestingly the etymology dictionary equates the two meanings: despot = "absolute ruler," from Middle .Latin. despota, from Greek. despotes "master of a household, lord, absolute ruler. --- The first recorded use of the word in English dates to early in the reign of Elizabeth I. === However, customarily the word is used perjoratively to imply that it is an "absolute ruler" who uses his power selfishly or cavalierly. Technically there was no difference in the position of Henry VIII from either his father, or his daught Elizabeth I. But the father was careful and only used his power to maintain his position. The daughter was likewise, only using executions when she thought it was absolutely necessary. --- In contrast, Henry VIII executed… [cont.]

A. Absolute monarchy is a monarchical form of government where the monarch exercises ultimate governing authority as head of state and head of government, thus wielding political power over the sovereign state and its subject peoples. In an absolute monarchy, the transmission of power is two-fold, hereditary and marital; as absolute governor, the monarch s authority is not legally bound or restricted by a constitution. In theory, the absolute monarch exercises total power over the land and its subject peoples, yet in practice the monarchy was counter-balanced by political groups from among the social classes and castes of the realm: the aristocracy, clergy (see caesaropapism), bourgeoise, and proletarians.

A. They usually promised that their society would be favored by god because the monarchy supported the "natural order" and because the monarch was anointed by god to rule.

A. I can offer a few points. For one - how many absolute monarchies are in existence now? Not many, which is a good indicator that it is not a desirable form of government. Recently Nepal voted out their royal family. It didn't help that a royal prince was responsible for a familial massacre, The Magna Carta in England limited the power of the King centuries ago, I can't remember when off hand. But it was very radical. The French Revolution came about because their monarchy was so spoilt and decadent, that they had no clue as to the disposition of the common people (they considered them below considerstion) As far as I know, there is no positive argument for absolute monarchy.
