What type of monarchy was there during the reign of Louis XVI?
I do believe that it’s a limited monarchy. But I don’t know what that meant. Was it parliament that enforced this? I remember reading somewhere that he had a limited monarchy, and most power was in the hands of the legislative something or other..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Louis XIV had an absolute monarchy.
Here’s an interesting site that should help explain the differences for you.

As to Louis VXI – he was forced into accepting this. He was held in Paris and then his crown was “removed” until he signed and swore allegiance to the new French constitution (Sept. 1791). However, the monarchy was abolished a year later. Louis was later tried for treason and executed (Dec.. 1792) So, it’s arguable whether or not Louis really participated in a limited, or constitutional, monarchy at all.
