Absolutism is a form of government in which it is based on a monarchy which bares control over the kingdom as well as its population. Absolutism was not an uncommon thing in the eighteenth century, but became prevalent by the French king Louis XIV between 1643 and 1715 (Absolutism, 1998).

In a system such as this, it is based on the assertion that liberty and power are constantly at odds with each other. Therefore, it is the duty of the citizens to protect liberty from the devastating destruction that can come with power. America is a great example of republicanism in the modern age.
