Answer
Before Louis XVIII's constitutional monarchy, France had an absolutist regime. This was a system of government in which the monarch had complete power and authority over the state. The king was not accountable to anyone, and he could make laws and decisions without consulting the people. The absolutist regime was eventually overthrown during the French Revolution, and Louis XVIII was forced to accept a constitutional monarchy.
