Absolute: Independent, irresponsible. An absolute monarchy is one in which
the sovereign does as he pleases so long as he pleases the assassins. Not
many absolute monarchies are left, most of them having been replaced by

greatly curtailed, and by republics, which are governed by chance.
-- Ambrose Bierce
