This can apply to monarchies, dictatorships or autocracies. The ruler or governing body possesses absolute, not merely relative, sovereignty, with ultimate authority to control every aspect of the state and government affairs. Absolutism can also refer to a philosophical doctrine that asserts certain values, principles, or truths are absolute, rather than relative or changeable.
