Before the Revoultion, France was an Absolute Monarchy. The King ruled by Divine Right, and his command was law. There were a number of feudal institutions that had roles in the enforcement and overseeing of laws, such as the law courts known as the Parlements. But the King had the final right to enforce or overturn any law. He could imprison people at will and hold them without charge. He had the right to confer property and titles of nobility, and to take them away. The King and his Ministers ruled France directly. Nobles and the Catholic Church also had numerous traditional rights, such as the rights to collect certain levies from the people.
