Answer:

Absolute Monarch

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute Monarch means a monarch that is not limited or restrained by laws or a constitution.

"Absolute monarchy is a form of monarchy in which the monarch rules in their own right or power. In an absolute monarchy, the king or queen is by no means limited and has absolute power, though a limited constitution may exist in some countries. These are often hereditary monarchies."

All the power of the government is centered in and based on the monarch.

Absolute Monarchs historically claim a divine right to legitimize their rule. The monarch will claim the the authority given to them to rule was appointed to them by a higher power, especially God.

For example, the Pope in Vatican City is supposed to have the divine right to rule.
