The main reason Philip II could not maintain an absolute monarchy was that **his territory was too large**. Managing a vast empire that included diverse cultures, languages, and local customs made it difficult for him to exercise centralized control. The logistical challenges, along with local governance and regional powers, meant that absolute authority was hard to maintain over such extensive and varied territories.
