Absolutism causes abuse of power. This kind of government under an absolute leader such as Hitler, may cause citizens to be ripped away from rights and be abused over the whims of the individual. Different freedoms such as freedom of speech, religion, want, or fear would be lost as the leader would control every aspect of the country. Absolutism ultimately becomes a violation of human rights.
