A quick definition of absolute martial law:

Absolute martial law is when the military takes over the government during a time of war or when the rulers think that the civil government is not working. The military makes and enforces the rules until the civil government can take over again. This happens when there is a big problem like an invasion, riot, or economic collapse. Qualified martial law is when the military only takes over some parts of the government. Military law is when the army makes and enforces the rules in foreign countries that they occupy.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Absolute martial law is the complete takeover of government functions by military agencies, where civil authority is completely replaced.

Examples: During times of war or national emergency, the military may take control of a country's government to ensure military security or public safety. This means that the military has complete authority over the country, and civil agencies are no longer in charge. Another example is when a country's rulers perceive that civil government has failed or might fail to function, and they impose martial law to maintain social order. In this case, the military takes over some or all government functions, depending on the extent of the perceived threat.

Explanation: Absolute martial law is a drastic measure taken by a government to maintain control during times of crisis. It is usually imposed when civil authorities are unable to handle a situation, and the military is seen as the only viable option. The examples illustrate how the military takes over government functions to ensure military security or public safety, or to maintain social order. This means that civil liberties may be suspended, and the military has the power to enforce its will on the population.
