What form of government existed in France before the revolution?

At that time, France did not have a constitution or a Parliament that would have had great powers and rights to develop a vector of actions for the country through the formation of a cabinet of ministers. A similar thing was already observed in England at the end of the 18th century. Also in France there was no strong body that worked in the style of the estate-representative legislative assembly. In any case, all laws had to pass through the king. And only he decided what to do and how: what to accept and what not.

Answer: Absolute Monarchy
