Answer:

It is a form of monarchy that is not influenced by any other power or institution.

Step-by-step explanation:

A common example of absolutism is the reign of King Louis XIV. King Louis XIV who reigned in France for around 60 years was never influenced by any other power or institution. King Louis XIV who believed he was a representative of God, believed his word was absolute and he answered to no one but God and heavily defended the catholic faith. King Louis XIV was so popular in terms of absolutism that many other monarchs after him tried to imitate his behavior.

I hope this helps you.
