'''Enlightened absolutism''', also called '''Enlightened Despotism''', is an ideology that believes the philosophical values of the [[File: Monkeyzz-Enlightenment.png]] [[Enlightenment]] should be enforced through an [[File:Abmon.png]] [[Absolute Monarchism|Absolute Monarchy]]. enlightened absolutism can be summarised with the quote "Everything for the people, nothing by the people". Famous enlightened despots include Frederick the Great of Prussia, Napoleon Bonaparte of France, Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire, and Catherine the Great of Russia.

Otto Von Bismark, the notorious Prussian general and Iron Chancellor of Germany, supported a benevolent absolute monarchy, as well, but he was significantly more economically left-wing and culturally right-wing (and in some cases, culturally reactionary) than most other enlightened absolutists. Bismarck also favored more power for the chancellor, believing that the monarch should not have TOO much power!
