england
spain, france, and russia

Explanation:

• Monarchs grew more powerful: In Spain, France, and Russia during the Age of Absolutism, monarchs like Louis XIV of France centralized power and became very powerful. In England, while monarchs still had power, there was a balance with Parliament.
• Monarchs had limits on their power: England developed a system where Parliament (representing the nobility, gentry, and later some common - people) had significant power. Through events like the Glorious Revolution, the power of the monarch was limited by laws like the Bill of Rights. In Spain, France, and Russia, the idea of absolute monarchy meant fewer legal limits on the monarch's power.
• Absolutism was increasing: Absolutism is the idea of a monarch having complete control. This was the case in Spain (e.g., under the Habsburgs), France (under Louis XIV), and Russia (under Peter the Great). In England, the trend was more towards a constitutional monarchy rather than increasing absolutism.
• Parliament had important powers: England's Parliament had a long - standing tradition of power. It could approve taxes, make laws, and later (after the Glorious Revolution) had a say in the succession of the monarchy. In Spain, France, and Russia, parliaments (or their equivalents) were much weaker compared to the power of the monarch.
