- Q22908158 abstract "Enlightened despotism (also called benevolent despotism) referred to a monarch's espousal of "Enlightenment ideas and principles" to enhance the central government's power, thereby expanding their own. The concept is associated with the Enlightenment period in the 18th and early 19th centuries. An enlightened despot is a non-democratic or authoritarian leader who exercises his political power for the benefit of the people, rather than exclusively for himself or an elite cadre of the people.Enlightened despots distinguished themselves from ordinary despots via their style and manner of government, claiming to rule for the well-being of their subjects. For example, an enlightened despot may focus government priorities on matters of public importance such as healthcare, education, nonviolent population control, or physical infrastructure. He or she may profess a commitment to peaceful relations or even allow some democratic decision-making, such as public referendums, but would not propose reforms that undermined their sovereignty or disrupted the social order. As John Stuart Mill articulated: "Despotism is a legitimate mode of government in dealing with barbarians, provided the end be their improvement."Although their reigns were based upon Enlightenment principles, enlightened despots' beliefs about royal power were similar to those of regular despots. Enlightened despots believed that they were destined from birth to rule. To their credit, enlightened rulers may have played a part in the abolition of serfdom in Europe.A classic enlightened despot, Emperor Joseph II of Austria once said: "Everything for the people, nothing by the people".".
