Who are royalists? According to history, the definition is this: they are supporters of the monarchical form of government. In the article, we briefly consider this concept, the historical realities under which it arose.
Royalists on the eve of the French Revolution
Royalists are adherents of the king who support the idea that power over people is bestowed upon him by God himself. Before the beginning of the era of these significant events, which influenced not only the fate of the French people, but also redrawed the map of Europe, the monarch’s power was absolute. Society was divided into three classes: clergy, aristocracy and commoners. Naturally, the king’s power was kept in history thanks to military power, led by aristocrats, and the propaganda of the church, affirming the divinity, sinlessness and inviolability of the monarchical system of government.
Royalists are convinced monarchists, and in most cases they supported not so much the abstract idea of the monarchy as a form of government by the state, but a specific representative of this political system. The king was the main exponent of their economic and political interests, the foundation and symbol, thanks to which the church and aristocracy parasitized for centuries. Adherent to the old monarchical traditions, in which the upper classes, not being producers of all the products of labor necessary for the life of society, but nevertheless living perfectly at the expense of the labor of others, are royalists. The main argument that they used in the issue of the social hierarchy of society is “birth control” management.

The ideological monarchists who do not want changes in society, strongly supporting the idea of the absolute power of the king, dressing her in clothes of holiness and infallibility.

But no. The ideas of the monarchy and the absolute power of the king or king still exist in some wild heads.
