Absolutism and Democracy

What would happen if you got two different governments going head to head, fighting to see who is better? What if those two governments were Democracy and tyranny? In the Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries, they were both used, and one was more impelling But which one? In this time period, Absolutism was the best form of government, because it was effective and worked for the tribe. In an Absolutism government, or a Monarchy, it was believed the top executives worked with immortal, and He bestowed them with the power to be King.In Document Two, King mob said, Kings are not only paragons lieutenants upon earth But even by God himself they are c exclusivelyed gods This is because the people believed Kings have powers similar to Gods. Kings can create and destroy Can judge, tho are not judged Give life or send death. The people honestly believed because of this, they worked together with God. Their teamwork with God is why Kings were accepted by the people, and why Absolutis m was accepted as well.Related article policy-making Parties Are Pillars of DemocracyKings used fear to gain control over the people, which is why they didnt fight against it. Machiavelli wrote in The Prince that a prince needs to be feared by the people Not loved and well liked. He would be incapable of being able to hold power over the people. If there wasnt a King, because there would be no control in the government. People would be deciding everything for themselves, and it would end in disaster.The King/ Prince kept them in line, and the people didnt revolt. The head alone has the right to deliberate and decide, and the functions of all the other members consist only in carrying out the commands given to them King Louis XIV said that the King is the only psyche able to give the right orders, and make the right decisions. Everyone else was there to follow by dint of on what he said. The interest of the state must come before the individual.The King was the only person capabl e of making sure the right decisions were made, and that the other members carried out the commands. So as you can see, Absolutism would win against Democracy in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries. It was more efficient, and worked well for them. The Kings had the power, and everyone was content with how things were set up. The people felt like this was how it ought to be, and it was. That is why Absolutism is the best form of government in this time period.
