The Tsars wielded divine right, absolute power. They certainly sometimes had benevolent leaders, Peter the Great, but then they also had Ivan the Terrible. So depending on who you were dealt with, what bloodline ran into the palace, that's really what determined the type of government that you had. And certainly Nicholas the Second, oh vocab, he's got vocab. Nicholas the Second is the last Tsar of Russia. And Nicholas the Second is a little bit conservative, a little bit traditional. Doesn't like the idea of not being a divine king.
