Question

Why were the Stuart kings (england) unable to achieve absoloustism like the bourbons of France?

Answer 1

The  Stuart's were Scottish.

Answer 2

the french bourbons never had absolutism since louis xvi was demoted to constitutional monarch before he had his head chopped off in the grim guillotine. stuart kings didnt last as the last stuart was a holy man. and the last attempt of stuarts to reclaim the throne was busted when bonnie prince charlie failed. his coup was stunted when his army was slaughtered at the battle of culloden in april, 1746. ok?

Answer 3

Well, I am not sure the Bourbons of France were able to achieve absolutism in the end, since King Louis, and his Queen, Marie Antionette, were both beheaded during the French Revolution.

Answer 4

different societal patterns...could have never worked...youre comparing individualist with cultural patterned..apples and oranges

Answer 5

The stuart lineage was Scottish and much reviled by the English and not since the magna carter was signed in 1207  by king john has any reigning monarch had absolute power
