The monarch in the person of the "royal master" had been
a paltry monarch compared with this new monarch, the "sovereign
nation." This monarch was a thousand times severer,
stricter and more consistent. Against the new monarch there
was no longer any right, any privilege at all; how limited the
"absolute king" of the ancien regime looks in comparison!
The Revolution effected the transformation of limited
monarchy into absolute monarchy.
