12 1661: 23 yr. old Louis XIV Assumes the throne Invents culture of absolutism Definition of Absolutism: The ruling power is not subject to regularized challenge or check by any other agency e.g., judicial, legislative, religious, economic, or electoral. NB: MODERN NOT MEDIEVAL!!! Pope/bishops/nobility (castles) 12
13 No checks on absolute power Judicial --- law courts Legislative --- congress or parliament Religious --- bishoplords, papacy Economic --- unlimited right to tax/ spend taxation without representation Electoral --- elections 17th-c. absolutist government: Modern 1) Scientific rationality and mathematical certainty extended to politics 2) New passion for centralization, bureaucracy, and efficiency 3) Eliminate opposition voices 4) Destroy all other allegiances: everything owed to central ruler 13
14 L état, c est moi. (The state is me.) Eugene Ionesco L Etat c est moi and what a state it s in!! 14
15 17th-century Absolutism: Five elements 1. Legislative: rule without consent and counsel of nobility [i.e., Second Estate ] 1614: last meeting of the Estates General Henry IV --- assassinated in 1610 Eliminate possibility of being checked by nobility / aristocrats [British House of Lords ; USA Senate ] 15
16 What s the problem with the Estates General not meeting since 1614? Because they re changing!!! And they re your source of money!!! And more than that --- the Third Estate is now the class that has the fluid capital!!! You need their taxes!!! Three Orders [Estates] : 13th c. 18 th c. How did the Third Estate get to be like this??? 16
17 2. RELIGIOUS: 1685 Revocation of Edict of Nantes (1598) Abolish religious toleration and opposition Appoint all its bishops; make them absolutely dependent on you [and not, e.g., the Pope] Gallicanism = French Catholicism 17
18 invincible reason. 18
19 Mediation: Louis XIV follows the example of James I: No bishop, no king. 19
20 Remember Fontainebleau! And la Fronde 1685: Revocation of Edict of Nantes 20
21 3. Lettre de cachet = sealed letter [cacher = to hide ]: a letter signed by the king commands recipient to obey orders without delay and without explanation Lettre de cachet used to authorize someone s imprisonment [e.g., in Bastille] indefinitely without due process NB: against British principle of writ of habeas corpus [you have the body] 21
22 cf. Man with the Iron Mask --- fictional brother of Louis XIV [novel of Alexandre Dumas]: imprisoned for the rest of his life without legal representation L: Deliverance of the Count de L Orges / R: Discovery of the Iron Mask 22
23 4. Versailles: Louis XIV abandons the Louvre for Versailles 23
24 Gather everyone out in the country [away from Paris and possibility of uprising] Put them under surveillance A culture of absolute dependence on / revolving around the sun-king Key to Versailles: SURVEILLANCE 24
