Politcal Changes in France through the Rule of Louis XIV

France has observed the emergence of the fully absolutist political and governmental condition under the rule of Louis XIV. The King now has control of all powers of the state, judicial, political, military, and a great amount of the religious powers. Under Louis XIV’s rule France has politically changed developing a national system of government, a professional army, and a state-directed economy all now individually managed by Louis XIV. For the first time in history France has all institutions and powers of the national state effectively controlled by one person. France has come across Absolutism and a ruler who sees himself as a representative of God. Today Louis XIV believes that he has the divine right and has therefore altered the politics of France, as we used to know them.
