During the eighteenth century, various forms of government coexisted, including absolute monarchies, constitutional monarchies, and republics. Absolute monarchies, such as those in France and Russia, concentrated power in the hands of a single ruler.

Additionally, the American Revolution led to the establishment of a republic, influencing democratic movements worldwide.
