Detailed explanation-1: -In an absolutist state, monarchs often required nobles to live in the royal palace, while state officials ruled the noble lands in their absence. This was designed to reduce the effective power of the nobility by causing nobles to become reliant upon the largesses of the monarch for their livelihoods.
Detailed explanation-2: -The monarch had complete control over all aspects of the society, including: political power, economics, and all forms of authority.
Detailed explanation-3: -Effects of Absolutism These were an extended royal household, including all those who regularly attend to the monarch and royal family. Monarchs would do this in order to appear more powerful and to control the nobility. They also regulated religion to control the spread of ideas.
