“Enlightened Despots” Most of Europe was ruled by absolute monarchs Enlightened Monarchs Frederick II, Prussia Catherine the Great, Russia Joseph II, Holy Roman Empire

Impact of the Philosophes Believed the best form of government was a monarchy in which the ruler respected the people’s rights Tried to convince monarchs to rule justly Some thinkers ended up corresponding with or advising European monarchs Voltaire advised Fredrick the Great

Enlightened Despots Some monarch’s embraced the new ideas and made reforms that reflected the enlightenment ideals However, they had no intention of giving up any power The changes they made were motivated by two desires: –to make their countries stronger –to make their own rule more effective

Frederick the Great of Prussia (1740–1786 ) Enlightened Reforms Granted religious freedoms Reduced censorship Improved education Reformed the justice system Abolished the use of torture

Frederick the Great Fredrick believed that serfdom was wrong but did nothing to end it since he needed the support of the wealthy landowners As a result, he never tried to changed the existing social order This demonstrates the limitations of his devotion to Enlightenment ideals

Fredrick the Great Most important contribution was his attitude toward being king Called himself “the first servant of the state” His goal was to serve and strengthen his country Wanted to transform Prussia into a modern state

Catherine the Great Russia (1762–1796) Took over the government after she had her husband arrested and confined Determined to “westernize” Russia Introduced Enlightened ideals to the Russian elite Backed efforts to modernize industry and agriculture

Catherine the Great In 1767, she formed a commission to review Russia’s laws Proposed reforms to the legal code based on the ideas of Montesquieu She recommended allowing religious toleration and abolishing torture and capital punishment The commission accomplished none of her goals

Catherine the Great She did little to improve the lives of the Russian peasants Her views about enlightened ideas changed after a massive uprising by serfs in 1773 After the revolt, she was convinced she needed the support of the nobles to maintain her throne –She gave the nobles absolute power over the serfs, who lost all freedom

Catherine the Great Greatest contribution was land expansion Controlled the northern shore of the Black Sea Gained access to the Mediterranean sea through the Ottoman controlled straights Expanded westward in to Poland

Joseph II Austria (1765–1790) Most radical royal reformer Reforms Legal reforms Freedom of the press Freedom of worship

Joseph II Most radical reform was the abolition of serfdom He ordered all peasants be paid for their labor in cash The nobles firmly resisted the change After his death, many of his reforms were undone

Changing Relationship Between Ruler and State Old Idea As Louis XIV reportedly said “I am the state.” The state and its citizens exist to serve the monarch. New Idea As Fredrick the Great said, a ruler is only “the first servant of the state.” The monarch exists to serve the state and support citizen’s welfare.
