An absolute monarchy is where the monarchs, usually kings or queens, have absolute authority over their subjects. This type of government allows the monarchs to do what they want, whether good deeds or bad ones. Their subjects could not do anything because no one limits the powers of the monarchs.
The kings and queens of the past, especially those of medieval England, follow absolute monarchical rule. However, because of some feudal barons who placed great concerns to their rights, they made King John of England sign the Great Charter which led to the birth of constitutional law in the said country. The Magna Carta significance today is that it also led to the birth of human rights.
An individual should be taking note of numerous human rights. Everyone should be respecting these moral principles or rights. People should be aware of the following principles. However, it will all come down to respecting each other in the end.
Everyone has the right to life. Even the babies who are still inside the wombs of their mothers should live. The parents should not abort their babies nor even think about the idea. This principle also opposes wars as these wars could lead to human casualties and sufferings to people.
An individual should not be inflicting pain on others and torturing them. Past rulers are typically using force and torture in asserting their political authority and the same reason is motivating present groups. However, this is also gratifying to other individuals, which is wrong morally. International law is prohibiting this act.
Persons should not be enslaved by their fellowmen. Others were enslaved in the past to work which was beneficial to their owners. These slaves might have not paid their debts to these owners or have wronged them in some ways. Nowadays, the slavery of individuals, no matter for what reason, is also prohibited by international law.
If certain persons commit various crimes, they have the rights to fair trials. Impartial tribunals should be the ones to judge them after they weigh the gravity of these crimes and if the accused are guilty. The members of these tribunals should seek evidences of the guilt of the accused persons. The accused, on the other hand, can also ask for attorneys who will defend their cases and hopefully set them free from these criminal charges if indeed they are not guilty of these crimes.
People can also say what they want freely as long as they say are based on their own opinions and not to hurt others. They could express their opinions freely about whatever topics that present themselves. However, several countries limit this right so this freedom is not absolute. In these countries, individuals may face several criminal charges such as libel, slander, and obscenity, among others.
A person could also be freely choosing any kind of religion he wants to be following. Today, numerous religions are existing and are possessing various beliefs and teachings. He also has the freedom of not choosing any religion if he is not believing in any of them, as well.
