He wasn't a common absolute monarch. He tried to do the best for his people, he listened to his advicers, was religious tolerant, and gave more philosophically liberty. He believed he was "The first servant of the state"
As an absolute monarch he wanted to conquer more territory, and instead of taking out power from the nobles, he gave them a better treatment because he saw them as allies instead of enemies.
He helped Prussia politically and economically and most of his decisions were based in military technics or in technics from his father, so he knew how to rule a country and gave benefits to it.
