The statement that best explains how Louis XIV’s rule exemplified absolute power is:
"Louis XIV had power more absolute than any French ruler before him, even though in reality his power, like all absolute rulers’ power, was often limited."
This statement acknowledges the significant extent of Louis XIV's authority while also recognizing the inherent limitations that all rulers face, even those considered absolute.
