jul 1, 1660 - Absolutism (1660)
Description:
A political idea that was perfectly instilled in King Louis XIV and his government during the era of the Sun King. He created a government where he was not legally bound by any institutions in his government. Although he relied on many institutions, he did not call in the Estates General for any ruling, effectively controlling all the power in the state. (Palmer, 175)Added to timeline:
