Mit dem Tod seines Vaters am 25. Februar 1713 wurde Friedrich Wilhelm I. König. Er verstand sich als absolutistisch regierender Herrscher und übernahm die Leitung der Staatsgeschäfte selbst. Schon bei seinem Regierungsantritt beschied er einigen Ministern, er verlange „weder Rat noch Räsonnement, sondern Gehorsam“. Er bezeichnete es als Grundsatz für jeden Herrscher, dass er „seine Affären alle selber tun müsse“ und mahnte seinen Nachfolger: „Der liebe Gott hat euch auf den trohn gesetzet nicht zu faullentzen sondern zu arbeiten“. Der König führte die Regierung von seinen Privatgemächern aus, dem Kabinett. Friedrich Wilhelm gehört zu den fleißigsten Monarchen der Weltgeschichte.
