Document 1



Absolute monarchy or absolutism meant that the sovereign power or ullimale authority in
the state rested in the hands of a king who claimed to rule by divine night. But what did
sovereignty mean? Late sixteenth century political theorists believed that sovereign power
consisted of the authority to make laws, tax, administer justice, control the state's
administrative system, and determine foreign policy. These powers made a ruler sovereign.
One of the chief theorists of divine-right monarchy in the seventeenth century was the
French theologian and court preacher Bishop Jacques Bossuet (1627-1704), who expressed
his ideas in a book entitled Politics Drawn from the very lords of Holy Scripture. Bossuet
argued first that government was divinely ordained
so that humans could live in an
organized society. Of all forms of government, monarchy...was the most general, most
ancient, most natural, and the best, since God established kings and through
them reigned
over all the peoples of the world. Since kings received their power from God (divine right).
their authority was absolute. They were responsible to no one (including parliaments)
except God. There was also a large gulf between the
theory of absolutism as ex pressed
by Bossuet and the practice of absolutism. As we shall see in our survey of seventeenth-
century states, a monarch's absolute power was often very limited by practical rlities...
