... With confidence, both Louis XIV and Napoleon I of France changed the face of French politics and society in their respective eras. ...
King Louis XIV took the throne of France in 1643. ... This system of government gave Louis total power over his subjects. Louis summed up his position in France with these words: “I am the state”. ... He declared himself First Consul and assumed all authority over France just as Louis had done. ... The purpose of Louis XIV’s revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 was to restrict the freedom of the Huguenots to worship as they chose and to force them to convert to Catholicism. Louis and Napoleon both desired one standard religion for France, which would be Catholicism.
As for the structure of society under Napoleon and Louis XIV, they were very different. Louis XIV’s lower class was drastically divided from the nobility and bourgeoisie.
