1 answer
The policy practiced by Louis XIV, Peter the Great, and Frederick the Great was absolutism or enlightened despotism. This refers to a form of monarchy in which the ruler has absolute power and also promotes Enlightenment ideals. While they each had their own specific goals and methods, all three rulers sought to strengthen and centralize their power, enact reforms, and modernize their respective nations. The other options mentioned - religious tolerance, expansionism, and westernization - were also pursued by some of these rulers, but they were not the primary overarching policies practiced by all three of them.
