Characteristics of Absolute Monarchs It’s GREAT to be the King! “I am the state” They made all the laws They were NOT subject to the laws.

They Ruled by “Divine Right” They believed that they derived their right to rule directly from GOD. Accountable only to GOD. Not the people!

They used their wealth to build LARGE, PERMANENT ARMIES! No more need to depend on feudal contracts with their vassals These armies were loyal to the King, NOT to the Country!

They used these armies to wage war against each other of course! NOW WHAT??? They used these armies to wage war against each other of course!
