Answer:
Frederick II supported many Enlightenment ideals.
Explanation:
Frederick II of Prussia, also known as Frederick II the Great, was the third king of Prussia (1740-1786). Belonging to the House of Hohenzollern, son of Frederick William I and Sofia Dorotea of Hanover, he was one of the greatest representatives of enlightened despotism of the eighteenth century. He is known for his military victories and for his reorganization of the Prussian army, his tactics and innovative maneuvers, and for the success he gets in the Seven Years' War, despite his almost desperate situation, for what he is already known in his time as Frederick the Great. As an exponent of enlightened despotism, Frederick is known for modernizing the bureaucracy and Prussian public administration, and for carrying out various religious policies, ranging from tolerance to oppression, depending on the circumstances. It reforms the judicial system and makes it possible for men of non-aristocratic origin to reach the judiciary or the main bureaucratic posts. Some critics, however, stress that their measures are oppressive against their conquered Polish subjects. It supports the arts and philosophy, although at the same time it issues various censorship laws to the press.
Louis XIV of France, was king of France and of Navarre from the 14 of May of 1643 until his death, with 76 years of age and 72 of reign. He was also co-Prince of Andorra (1643-1715) and rival count of Barcelona during the Catalan uprising (1643-1652) as Luis II. Louis XIV, one of the most prominent kings of French history, managed to create an absolutist and centralized regime, to the point that his reign is considered the prototype of absolute monarchy in Europe. The phrase L'État, c'est moi ("The State is I") is often attributed to him, although historians consider it a historical inaccuracy, since it is more likely that this phrase was forged by his political enemies to highlight the vision stereotyped of the political absolutism that Louis XIV represented, probably arising the quote "The good of the State constitutes the Glory of the King", taken from his Réflexions sur le métier de Roi (1679). In contrast to that apocryphal appointment, Louis XIV said before dying: Je m'en vais, mais l'État demeurera toujours ("I am leaving, but the State will always remain").
