In France, the political structure of absolute monarchs was known as "absolutism." This system concentrated power in the hands of the king, who ruled without significant checks from other institutions, such as the nobility or the church. The monarch was seen as the embodiment of the state, exercising control over all aspects of governance, law, and society, often justified by the doctrine of the divine right of kings. Notable absolute monarchs include Louis XIV, who famously declared, "L'état, c'est moi" ("I am the state").

Absolute monarchs disliked Parliament because they viewed it as a challenge to their authority and power. They believed that their divine right to rule should not be questioned or constrained by a legislative body. Parliaments often sought to limit the monarch's powers, demand accountability, and represent the interests of the nobility and common people, which conflicted with the absolute rule that monarchs aimed to maintain. This tension often led to conflicts and power struggles between the monarchy and parliamentary institutions.
