    This document outlines the differences between absolutism and liberalism in government. Absolutism is characterized by divine right monarchy where the king's power comes from God, while citizens are subjects who must obey. Liberalism emerged after the revolution and is based on the separation of powers, with an executive who governs, a legislative body that makes laws, and an independent judiciary that judges accordingly, all derived from the will of sovereign citizens.
