What was the main meaning of the king's power being limited in the Constitution of 1791?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The king was no longer above constitution and law

The direct answer is that the king was no longer above the Constitution and law, so option A is correct. Before 1791, France was an absolute monarchy in which the king had very broad authority. The Constitution of 1791 changed this into a constitutional monarchy. The king still existed, but his powers were defined and restricted by a written Constitution, laws, and representative institutions. Therefore, he could not simply rule according to personal will or claim authority above the law. Option A expresses the main meaning of limited royal power. Option B is wrong because the Constitution did not abolish all taxes; taxation continued under a new political system. Option C is wrong because the king did not hand government over to the Church. Option D is wrong because France did not become a republic in 1791; the republic was declared in 1792. The key concept is constitutional monarchy: a monarch remains, but constitutional rules limit the monarch. A useful exam cue is to connect 1791 with limited royal power and constitutional monarchy, and 1792 with the republic.
