Was Louis XIV an enlightened despot?

How can a dictator be enlightened? The two ideals are completely the opposite of each other. To achieve enlightenment one must come to terms with their own flaws, appreciating at the same time that everyone is equally flawed (in their own way obviously). From this comes the ability to accept everyone's beliefs equally, and to value their differences of opinion. This is in direct contrast with the fundamentals of a Dictatorship. Therefore, Napoleon was not an enlightened dictator.

The original response is 100% wrong and id like to correct them

Napoleon was most certainly a enlightened dictator for every flaw he had an achievement to make up for it

Did the original poster know that Napoleon was the first person in France to ever propose freedom of religion and stood with it until it was passed

In history many times people get skewed in the eye of the people for the necessary actions they must take

Napoleon was a hero he was the only thing that helped the french survive after the revolution and acted in the peoples best interest

So yes Napoleon is a Enlightened dictator and deserves the title

Napoleon's domestic policy, "was his greatest legacy to France"
