Louis XIV

uses aesthetic grandeur to project power;

made a major statement by building a unique

building that was sprawling in dimensions

to dwarf any existing structure nearby;

surround himself with devoted inner circles

to manage state affairs, demanding personal

loyalty over institutional processes;

utilizes capricious, whimsical management

styles, making rapid changes to policies

and alliances on personal intuition rather

than established protocols;

merged the identity of the state with

his own identity . . .
