Tuesday 14 April 2007

Introduction
•In the 18th century, several European rulers were influenced by the Enlightment ideas. They believe that they should improve the living standard of their people. But they still held all powers in their hands. These rulers were called enlightened despots
•E.g. Frederick the great of Prussia and Catherine the Great of Russia
•The enlightment despots introduced reforms to lessen the hardships of the people. This gave people idea that their welfare was important and that government was on their side.
Frederick the Great of Prussia
•While Louis XIV believed in absolutism, Frederick the Great of Prussia (ruled from 1740-86) was an enlightened despot. He was influenced by the enlightened thinkers of the time, especially Voltaire. While Louis XIV said “I am the State, Frederick II called himself ‘The first servant of the State”. However, although he held liberal ideas and wanted gave his people a better government, he did not believe the people could rule themselves. He therefore assumed absolute power.
•Frederick wrote’ the people do not exist for the sake of the rulers, but rulers for the sake of the people’. He devoted his time to serving his people. He improved the economy by encouraging agriculture and industry. Science and education progressed under his rule. He also granted religious freedom, and introduced law reforms such as the abolition of torture as punishment.
•Frederick wanted to make Prussia a strong country in Europe. He spent a large sum of money strenghtening his army. He waged wars against other countries to expand his territories. Although he ruled his people like despot and made them pay high taxes to support his wars, Prussia be
came the leader of other German states and was powerful in Europe.
Catherine the Great of Russia
