Despotic Monarchy

Despotic monarchy is a form of absolute monarchy where a single ruler has complete control over the government and its people, often exercising power in a harsh or tyrannical manner. In this system, the monarch's decisions are unquestioned, and they may impose their will without regard for laws or traditional governing structures. Unlike constitutional monarchies, where the monarch's powers are limited by law, a despotic monarchy allows the ruler to govern with little or no input from representatives or the public, leading to potential abuses of power and oppression of dissent.
