Answer:
Absolutism:
-kind held all power
-power came from God (divine right)
-they held sovereign power (make laws, tax, determine foreign policy, etc.)
How France reflected absolutism
-Louis XIV kept his nobles close to him to distract them from politics, giving Louis more power
-Louis made the edict of Fontainebleau which said everyone must be Catholic
-Louis had control of foreign affairs and led France into many wars
How France differed from absolutism
-Despite what Louis XIV thought, France still had overlapping authorities (Provinces had their own regional courts, local estates, and laws)
-Louis did not have enough power to control the lives of his subjects so he had to bribe people to execute his policies (this meant people could obstruct the execution of his policies if they wanted)
