18 Brumaire (France, 11-9-1799): Coup d'etat that placed Napoleon Bonaparte at the head of the Republic, later converted into an Empire.

Absolute Monarchy (Europe, 16th-17th Centuries): Type of monarchy characterized by unlimited royal power, where the King concentrates power equating himself with the law and subordinating the subjects. The absolute monarch also claims for himself a divine right and a direct relationship with God, centralizing religion in his hands. Historical cases: although there are examples from Antiquity (Byzantium, Egypt, Chaldea, Babylon), France (Philip the Fair, Louis XIV), England (the Stuarts) and Spain (the Catholic Monarchs) between the 16th and 18th centuries are paradigmatic . In these last two countries, the AM was strengthened with the progressive weakening of the feudal nobility, the Pope and the Germanic Roman Emperor and the tendency to the political unification of the territories, dispersed during the Middle Ages (see polyarchy). Thus, modern European AM is closely linked to the processes of formation of nation states (see Modern State). The AM was being displaced by the constitutional monarchy, especially after the Glorious Revolution and the French Revolution.

Ancien Régime (France, 1515-1789): French expression that means Old Regime. It refers to the political regime - in particular the reign of Louis XVI - whose main characteristics were the following: a) Political regime: an absolute monarchy that affirms that the King is in his place by God's will, b) customs were almost considered as a social contract between the three orders (those who prayed, those who fought and those who worked, that is, respectively, the clergy, the nobility and the peasants), c) hierarchical society: an individual is worth, not for himself, but because of the social group to which it belongs and, d) the Catholic Church imposes its vision and interests on a large part of society. The French Revolution swept this world away.

Bourgeois Revolutions (Europe, 16th-19th Centuries): Seizure of political power by the bourgeoisie through a violent social revolution, which implied the confiscation of the nobility and laid the material foundations for the development of capitalism. The first BR was produced in Holland in the 16th century. But it was undoubtedly the English Revolution of the 17th century and the French Revolution of the 18th century that were the most important. The revolutions of 1830 and the revolutions of 1848 are also considered BR.

Citizen: Person who has civil and political rights and obligations (see citizenship).

Citizenship: Condition of belonging of an individual to a political community from the recognition of the State, which enables the individual to exercise political rights, including electoral, petition, assembly and association rights. In this liberal conception of the C, economic and social issues are left aside, as they are considered independent of the State. That is why a distinction is usually made between a political C and an economic-social C, the latter linked to the so-called second-generation citizenship. The
