The example of how Louis XIV’s absolute power was limited is: his reliance on Jean-Baptiste Colbert to make reforms for him.
While Louis XIV is often seen as the epitome of an absolute monarch, his dependence on Colbert for economic reforms indicates that he needed to rely on capable administrators, which can be seen as a limitation to his personal control over all aspects of governance.
