Constitutional monarchies differed from previous absolute monarchies by limiting the powers of the monarch through a constitution or legal framework, which established the rule of law and often included a separation of powers. Unlike earlier governments where the king or queen had unchecked authority, constitutional monarchies typically incorporated representative bodies, such as parliaments, to involve citizens in governance. This shift marked a transition towards more democratic principles and accountability in leadership, reflecting Enlightenment ideas about individual rights and governance.
