According to
Wikipedia, the definition of "absolutism" also refers to "...Sovereignty..."
and in international law, that is the exercise of power by the state, which can
"...generally be defined as supreme authority within the state..."
with "...ultimate authority over other people to establish a law or change
existing laws..."
Merriam-webster.com
identifies "absolutism" as a noun word with "...advocacy or a
rule with absolute standards or principles..." which essentially indicates
that this "noun" word refers to the "...sovereignty..."
defined in the first paragraph of this April wordsplusmeanings blogspot.
As well, Wikipedia has
coupled "absolutism" with "...moral absolutism..."
assigning this term to a philosophic ethic that suggests "...absolute
standards under which moral standards can be judged, regardless of
context..."
However,
cambridge.org defines "absolutism" as "...a political system in
which a single ruler, group, or political party has complete power over a
county..."
As is indicated by my
research, the noun word "absolutism" has many meanings, also the
context assigned to this noun word has a pertinent significance to defining the
current administration's political opponent, Donald Trump, who represents the
antithesis of every principle they espouse.
