Historically, the kings of France ruled in a thoroughly autocratic fashion and proved unable to accede democratic norms and human rights for their subjects. As a result, the French people revolted at least five times between 1780-1880 and decided that the best way to ensure their rights was to make sure that a king was completely out of the picture.

However, there are some who desire the return of the monarchy, called Monarchists and they usually represent between 1-5% of the French vote. Louis XX is the current Bourbon pretender to the throne. The Monarchists, though, are commonly seen as a joke by the rest of the French electorate.
