How did the period of absolutism relate to the world today

Absolutism is a form of rule in monarchies that consists of the government of a ruler acting on his own authority without essential political responsibilities for democratic institutions. This form of political organization predominated in Europe during the 1600s and 1700s, until the beginning of the liberal revolutions, and led to the formation and consolidation of the nation states of modern Europe.

Today absolutism is practically non-existent in the world with few exceptions, since all nations have embraced, in one way or another, the concept of democracy for their political and social organization. Examples of currently existing absolutist forms of government are the reigns of the King of Saudi Arabia and the Pope in the Vatican State, each derived from religious principles.
