Which of the following is not considered a characteristic of an absolute monarchy?
a. leaders are chosen in regular popular elections
b. the ruler has all of the power in the government
c. a single individual holds power
d. a king queen or emperor is given power for life.

The correct answer is A. In an absolute monarchy, leaders are not chosen in regular popular elections, as that is a characteristic of a democracy.

Absolute monarchy is a form of government in which the king has absolute power. In it there is no division of powers (executive, legislative and judicial). Although the administration of justice may have relative autonomy in relation to the king, or there may be parliamentary institutions, the absolute monarch may change the decisions or rulings of the courts in the last resort or reform the laws at his will.
