Absolutism: North American Colonial Wars Absolutism in Europe was a theory of kingship whereby the monarch ruled a centralized state with absolute sovereignty. Possessing unlimited power, he was not subject to any laws but those of God. Absolutism prevailed from the fifteenth century to the end of the eighteenth century and was often used as a unifying force in the consolidation of nation-states. Today, an absolute monarch would be known as a dictator.
