How would the excerse of absolute power affect a country

Absolute monarchy, or absolutism, meant that the ultimate authority to run a state was in the hands of a king who ruled by divine right. Divine right was the claim that a king was given his position by some higher power ... Because kings and queens were given their authority by god, their power was unconditional.

Absolute power in the hands of a supreme authority gives unconditional power to the head of a state or a country. It could dangerous to the common people as the supreme authority can deny them any rights. It could prove a nightmare to the citizens of a country. It is opposite to the modern principles of democracy.
