1 answer

Louis XIV created the illusion of absolute control through his lavish court at Versailles and the strict control he exerted over all aspects of French life, reinforcing the idea of the divine right of kings. This illusion might still have power today because it highlights the potential for leaders to manipulate appearances and symbolism to project an image of authority and dominance.
