Answer:

In 1789, before the beginning of the French revolution, France was a Monarchy.

A monarchy is a system of governance in which a single ruler who is referred to as the "king" or the "emperor" wields an enormous power over all of the subjects and property in a country.

The king owns every piece of land and all the people must be loyal to him. ]

Law is what the king say it is and the rules may be changed whenever he decides.

Moreover, the title is passed often from father to son. we call this the "Hereditary system of power transition."
