 | | Despite effectively being absolute monarchies, they are technically constitutional monarchies due to the existence of a constitution and national canon of law. | | | There is no constitution or body of law above what is decreed by the sovereign. | | | In Nepal, King Gyanendra dismissed Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba due to the ongoing conflict with the Maoists, and formed his own cabinet [1], but claims democracy will return in 3 years. |

| | Pre-Enlightenment Europe |
| | While Henry had himself named head of the church of England, the absolute monarchs in Europe only managed to gain some administrative and judicial control over the clergy. | | | In order to achieve this stability, absolutists asserted that in practical affairs several key elements of the national government should be solely in the hands of the monarch: the military, tax collection, and the judicial system. | | | Europe consequently saw the gradual erosion of local power and autonomy and the rise of national legislation and civil bureaucracies. |
