"Starting with the ancien régime, which can be characterized as an absolute monarchy, the French political order has also included empires, a revolutionary dictatorship, a fascist regime, provisional governments, and parliamentary and semi-presidential democracy. The French case illustrates wide ranging forms of political life from authoritarianism to democracy, along with 15 different constitutions in over 200 years of its post-French Revolution history."
