Answer 1

(1) Power is absolute and should not be

questioned

Step-by-step explanation:

The New Law Code of 1767 was written or considered as the instructions of Catherine the Great of Russia or Catherine II specifically. It serves as a replacement to the Muscovite code of laws. It was greatly influenced by the ideas of the French Enlightenment.

However, while it centers on the equality of all individuals before the law and rejected the death penalty and torture, it still retains the idea that "power is absolute and should not be questioned which is often referred to as Absolutism."
