Absolutism is helped along by a sense of need for centralized control over all affairs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolutism often takes over in societies that suffer from disorder and uncertainty about the future whee the people start believing that there is a need for a single strong leader who is authoritative and can do what they want to help the country without any constrictions in their work.

Usually such a view comes at the expense of trusting institutions in the modern world but ends up badly as absolutism is the perfect seed for the dictatorships of the world to prevail in.
