Before the French Revolution, France was ruled by the absolute monarchy, with King Louis XVI as the reigning monarch until 1789. The government operated under a feudal system, where the king held centralized power, and governance was largely influenced by the clergy and the nobility. The Estates-General, a representative assembly of the three estates (clergy, nobility, and commoners), had not been convened since 1614 until its calling in 1789, shortly before the revolution began.

What kind of government did France have before the French Revolution?

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.
