What branch of French government was the most powerful in the 1700's?

In: US Constitution [Edit categories]

Answer:

In France in the 1700s the king was the king had the most power in the government. Still, there were a number of groups that held medieval rights. The church collected its tithe. The serfs were bound to the land, and the guilds controlled entrance to their membership. Taxing districts overlapped. The king could not change medieval rights. When entitlements threatened to bankrupt the government, the king called for a meeting of The Estates General. Things got out of hand. The king lost his throne, then his head.
