This is not absolutism because while the monarchs are in contact with the parliament at most times, parliament still has the ability to make decisions
2. This is absolutism because the power is bestowed solely on one ruler by God himself. Though the military was allowed some liberties, the power of the people lay with the emperor
3. This is not absolutism because the rulers are chosen by a public body and the decisions are reached based on the will of the monarch plus his joint governing body.
4. This is absolutism because Mussolini's rule was based on his wish to conform the minds of his people. He banned other governing bodies to solidify his rule. I could see this to be argued that this was a dictatorship only and not absolutism, because the power was not given from god. I am indecisive.
