The statement describes the reign of Frederick the Great of Prussia, who implemented reforms such as religious toleration, educational expansion, and improvements in infrastructure while maintaining absolute control over the state. Joseph II of Austria also implemented reforms but faced resistance from various groups, and Catherine II of Russia, although an enlightened monarch, relied heavily on the support of the nobility and did not institute significant domestic reforms. Maria Theresa of Austria, while a strong ruler, did not embody enlightened absolutism in the same way as Frederick the Great.
