he supported An absolute monarchy
As sovereign by divine right, the King was God's representative on earth. It is in this respect that his power was “absolute”, which in Latin means literally 'free of all restraints': the king was answerable to no one but God. During his coronation, Louis XIV swore to defend the Catholic faith.
