The Absolute Monarchy by divine right..
Louis XIV was an absolute monarchy, thus his "I am the state" was very accurate. Prior to ascending the throne, Louis and his mother had to flee Paris because of the Fronds, rebellions against the crown by the nobles. As a result, Louis took steps to make sure he would never find himself in a situation like that again. He removed all of the power from the nobility and put himself in charge of everything.
This happened at the Place de la Concorde as it is called today. Before the Revolution, this square was called Place de Louis XV and it had a large statue of Louis XV on it. During the Revolution, this statue was smashed and the French Revolutionaries baptized the square Place de la Revolution. Right in front of the spot where the statue of Louis XV used to be, the guillotine was erected. Today, on the exact spot where that guillotine used to be, there is a memorial statue.
