Why are frederick the great of prussia and catherine the great of russia considered "enlightened despots"?

They are considered to be enlightened despots because they still ruled absolutely, but they did implement many things that came from the west and was a part of the enlightenment philosophy. They were like benevolent dictators, they did what they wanted but it was usually a good thing for the people.

Yeah i’ll call ya later i don’t have any money to go out there
