Absolute Monarchs in Comparison

Absloute monarchs are kings/queens or someone of royal heritage who have absolute or unlimited power in their state. Some absolute monarchs include Louis XIV, Suleiman I, Philip II, Akbar (Mughal India) and Peter the Great. They all have different ways of using their power. Louis XIV was the absolute monarch of France. He was also the Sun King and thought everything revolved around him. Suleiman I was known as the Lawgiver/ the Magnificent. He was the absolute monarch of the Ottoman Empire. Suleiman I had broad interests which contributed to the cultural achievements of the empire. Philip II inherited the territories of Spain, the Spanish Netherlands and the American Colonies when he came to rule. He was known as a defendder of Catholicism because he believed it was his duty to defend catholicism against the Muslims of the Ottoman empire and the Protestants of Europe. Akbar (Mughal India) demonstrated tolerance in his empire, had successful tax policies and handled military and militaristic ideas in his own unique way. One last absolute monarch we learned about includes Peter the Great. He ruled Russia. His monarch and my monarch have some similarities. For example we both have worked to improve the structure of things; how things work and come together. There are differences between our monarchy though such as he tried controlling everyone under his authority and in my monarchy, i allow different people to follow what they believe in but in a civilized, controlled way. I relate to Peter the Great because we have similar ideas on how we run things and manage what goes on. In my opinion, we think alike in some ways.

"He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command"

An absolute monarch is a government ruled by a king or queen who has complete power and control over the lives of the people. I am a Queen of an absolute monarch. I rule the country New Caledonia which is near Fiji. I have total control over the people. The people rely on me, they are looking for some one to tell them what to do and how to run the country. My role is to guide them and lead them. My monarch believes in the divine right theory which states that the right of rules in a monarch is developed directly from God and is only accountable to God because God created the state. The quote "He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command" describes how I am and how I run my country. I interpret this quote as first you need to know how to give commands and orders to people and once they understand that you are in-charge they shall obey you. I chose this quote because it is a simple rule to follow and do things by. My monarch may be called unique. It's unique because of the different style of how things are run and also the looks or design of things such as structure. Not only the way things are done and looks but how we deal with criticism. I learn from the mistakes I make and progress from there on. This monarch is Catholic, but not all people in my country may be the same religion and I allow it. I will let them practice what they believe in and not be forced into converting to Catholic  as long as they obey my commands. My country and monarch are built strong. Everything is under control.
