Detailed explanation-1: -In England, there was a Constitutional monarchy, while in France, there was an Absolutist monarchy. In the second half of the 17th century, absolute monarchs such as Louis XIV ruled in France, and William and Mary shared their power with Parliament in England.
Detailed explanation-2: -From 1603 to 1715 the French and English monarchies were different by the opposing types of governments, France has absolutism and England has constitutionalism. Also, the restriction of power is drastically different, France’s kings had absolute power and England’s kings are restricted by Parliament.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the absolute monarchy, the king or queen rules with absolute and total power whereas in a constitutional monarchy the king or queen has limited powers since they rule along with a parliament or a governing body. In other words, the king or queen of an absolute monarchy is a dictator.

The sovereign is also able to comment on draft laws which directly affect the monarchy. The monarch is also Head of the British Armed Forces.
