1. Yes, he was able to do anything that he wanted, because in their minds he was a king, because everyone who got a king status, was sent by God and he could not make a wrong choice.
2. Because now election of the leader is a lot different, there are different principles. Now people understand that the rulers don't come from the Gods choice.

# data[].attributes.body

Because nowadays fewer people believe in god, and they also become smarter.

mind the right to rule for him came directly from the God.
2) There are so few absolute monarchies today, because people started to fight for their freedom & rights. They were tired of being under someone's constant control.

# data[].attributes.body

I think there are so few monarchies today, because weaker monarchies were exterminated by stronger.

I choose Fiefdoms, because the ruling is more effective when some individuals are covering small areas around, not only one person in the center. So the king would see in those areas where he couldn't without his best subjects. These small areas allowed to establish the absolute power.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose Divine Right of Kings (kings Devine their authority from God), because it was the most valuable "strategy" to get an authority. In times of Absolutism, people were very religious and a human, who was "chosen by the God", in their minds had value almost equal to the God's. So, people worshiped their king & this king just enjoyed his absolute power on their minds & used it as he wanted, because people, (his subjects,) just wouldn't dare to argue with his decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
Divine rights of kings
I choose this because people at the time believed a lot in different type of gods and like the king and its sons/daughters are the future of it when he will die. But lets return to them believing in different gods,  they thought that gods were the most powerful being in the world and so they were terrified if they will not listen to them, or better to the king. You understood my point right?

# data[].attributes.body
I chose Divine Right of Kings (God have given power to the king), because at that time, people were very religious, they thought that the king does what God tells him to do. People did not dare to argue God's will, so they could think they would be punished for it.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this because people at that time were really religious and believed that the god was saying to the king what to do. So when king said something, people believed the god told him to say so, so they could not argue with king.
Also HEREDITARY MONARCHY because that was the system how next king was chosen.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this topic because people accepted the king's power only because they believed, that god gave it to him. So they were doing everything that he said.

1. Mercantilism is an economic system that was used by European countries in 1500 - 1700s.
2.  A king has a complete control of economy, they make more exports and less imports, so they have a choice which already gives power. So the king got all of the money. Making colonies they get resources from different continents. When they get gold and silver it also gives them a power.
3. It means a source of getting rare metals and things that don't locate in my reign or don't grow there. It is an international source of trade and relations between different continents.
4. If you are working in the city, you get money from this trading. It is best to live in the country to get the money, unlike in countryside.
5. It is an easy way to get products or supplies that we couldn't get ourselves, but you pay more for this easy way, because there is a long process behind it.

# data[].attributes.body
I choose this topic, because peoples was religious and do not see how king use them to have better life.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Mercantilism is an economic policy that is designed to maximize the exports and minimize the imports for an economy.
2. The King is getting reacher, when the country is getting richer. So he is interested to do something (for example build colonies) to make the country richer.
3. It will mean, that need to create some kind of product. If I would sell it, I would make profit and got wealthier.
4. It would mean that would need or would be forced to produce materials, that would be sold to a different country or colony.
5. It would mean that I would pay for the final product.

# data[].attributes.body
1. mercantilism is a economic system and policy used by European countries.
2. The king was responsible for economy and had a control over it.
3. As a merchant i would get profit from trading, not workers.
4.  If i would live on a countryside,   than i would not get any money or profit. However, if i would work in a city, i would probably get a profit from the merchants.
5. I would pay a lot more for products because the country would make the products expensive so that the country would get profit.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Mercantilism is the economic system that  was used by European countries in the1500-1700s, it depends upon supply of gold and silver, and the total volume of trade is unchangeable.
2) A king had control the economic system. He gave the order to set up colonies, chose what to do with import and export and he got money for this process.
3) Merchants bought raw materials and sold them more expensive. I think they had benefit position, because they gained wealth.
4) Laborers supplied establishment with raw resources and bought products. I think they had not very benefit position, because they bought products which were more expensive.
5) It would be cheaper to buy materials from laborers, but they could not do that so they bought more expensive products from establishment. I think they had not very benefit position, because they overpaid for the product.

1. Mercantilism was an economic system of trade that spanned from the 16th century to the 18th century. Mercantilism was based on the idea that a nation's wealth and power were best served by increasing exports and so involved increasing trade.
2. The king gets money from that because merchants has to pay sometimes a fee for exporting (I think if i remember right).
3. For me it will mean somehow create or buy a product and go somewhere else and sell it for higher price because maybe in that place isn’t such things as he sell.
4. For me it will mean having really small money and try to make some product for sell it cheap to anyone, cheap because he would think of having money as quick as possible when he spends his little money quickly and needs more money all the time, and he think, because of not a great work, it is low quality.
5. It’s easy to find what you need when you go in the market, the only problem is which one to choose, because some could be scams or others overpriced, it is hard to find the right things sometimes.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Mercantilism was for economic trade that was used for 200 years from 1600-1800
2.The King was in charge of what was happening on the Mercantilism

# data[].attributes.body
1. Mercantilism is the economical system, that was popular in the Europe from 1500 until 1700.
2. Monarch get a lot of money and silver from different countries that  he control. Also he control export and import to the colonies and his country.
3. I can trade with countries that are colonies. So I will get more money.
4. I will get less money because all profit will take motherland of my colony.
5. I can buy product that I need, but it will cost more.

# data[].attributes.body
I choose this topic because i think that it was most effective to use. It was most useful because almost every people was religious. And when all society tell you that king is messenger of the god you will listen and trust him.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Mercantilism is an economic system of trade, which was used by European people in 16th- 18th centuries.
2. King was the head of "everything" and mercantilism is not an exception. So, king got all the money, gotten from that trading system.
3. That means that I will have a profit from trading with countries, because I will sell my product for the higher price.
4. It will mean, that I will work hard and get small amount of money paid. I will extract resources and then those resources will be sold  to the metropole.
5. That means, that I will get resources, that I can't obtain by myself, but I will need to pay for it more.

# data[].attributes.body
1.Mercantilism was an economic system of trade that spanned from the 16th century to the 18th century. Mercantilism was based on the idea that a nation's wealth and power were best served by increasing exports

Active listening for Russian Absolutism presentation

# data[].attributes.body
That France has no intension to work or give to anybody and be a independent state.

He will lead it like it was himself. He will always prioritise the state than anything else.

And that there is one law, one faith and one king, and because of the one king, he was not happy being around to other kings, like Peter.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think this quote attribute to Russian absolutism because for example Ivan the Terrible didn’t want to share his power and he murdered boyars, Catherine the Great overthrew her husband to rule herself.
2. I think this quote attribute to Russian absolutism because czar was the head of the state, made decisions for the whole country and he represented the state.
3. I think this quote attribute to Russian absolutism because only one czar ruled at the same time, people stuck the same law and faith all over the country.
4. I think this quote doesn’t attribute to Russian absolutism because at first czars thought about themselves, did what was beneficial for them and then they thought about nation. They wouldn't do what wasn't profitable for them.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think, that this quote attribute to the Russian absolutism, because at times of absolutism there was only one czar, "chosen by God" and, of course, that czar did not want to share his authority. The good example for this is the czar Ivan the Terrible (1533-1584), who killed his son just to not share Russian throne.
2.  I think, that this quote attribute to the Russian absolutism, because at times of absolutism there was only one empowered person. So, this person simply was the state. This person was simply everything.
3.  I think, that this quote attribute to the Russian absolutism, because at times of absolutism there was
a - one czar
b - one law that this king said
c-one faith that this czar believed
4.  I think, that this quote attribute to the Russian absolutism, because at times of absolutism czars at firsts did what was beneficial for them and what they wanted, and then listened to the people.

# data[].attributes.body
1. In my opinion, this quote refers to Russian absolutism in the way that at that time Russians also had the absolutism, as we studied, Ivan the Terrible had a passion of power that overshadowed his sight as much as he killed his own son, just so to stay on his throne!
2. This quote, contributes because Russians had a ruler, and just like the French, his word was a law, he had the whole power, if he would be gone, there would be disorders and maybe even a Civil war.
3. This quote attributes to Russian absolutism, as the second quote. The kings word is the rule, and what else is there - religion. At that time christianity and the church held the power, and there is only one faith, no more. Sounds like Mercantilism system. Why do we need more than one king? More than one systematic law? More than one belief?
4. I think this quote contributes to the Russian absolutism, because when the king says the state, he says the king, because as it is said in the first quote, I am the state. So there was one king, and even when it is said that he is interested in the state, he is interested in his own interests.

# data[].attributes.body
i did not finish it fully but i will do it as a homework

# data[].attributes.body
I think that first quote attributes to the Russian absolutism because in the tome of Russian absolutism was one king that was "chosen by god" So of course he did not wanted to share his power. Because it make him less powerful.
2.i think that second quote attributes to the Russian absolutism because it means that there is only one main leader. And in Russian absolutism there also was only ne leader
3.This quote attributes to the Russian  absolutism because in Russian absolutism there also was one king one law for everyone and one faith
4.It attributes to the Russian absolutism because in this quote i think they try to say that state must be on the first position. In Russian absolutism it was the same

# data[].attributes.body
1) First quote connect to the Russian Absolutism, because in that time in Russia was Absolutism
2) Second quot is to connect to the Russian Absolutism, because in russia in that time was one leader.
3)It attributes, because in that time in Russia was too one king, that was a law and control all the country.
4) It attributes to the Russian Absolutism. Because word of the king was a law. So in Russia situation was pretty the same.
