Changes

Rule by one person — a monarch, usually a [[king]] or a [[queen]] — whose actions are restricted neither by written [[law]] nor by custom; a system different from a [[constitutional monarchy]] and from a [[republic]]. Absolute monarchy persisted in [[France]] until 1789 and in [[Russia]] until 1917.
