The 1791 constitution of France established a constitutional monarchy. It created a system in which the king retained executive power, but his authority was limited by a legislative assembly responsible for making laws. This constitution aimed to balance royal authority with the principles of the Enlightenment, promoting individual rights and a separation of powers. However, it ultimately faced significant challenges and was replaced during the turbulent years of the French Revolution.
