Synthesize What does the Edict of Fontainebleau suggest about the rights of individuals versus the rights of the monarch in France?

The Edict of Fontainebleau, issued in 1685 by King Louis XIV of France, revoked the Edict of Nantes, which had granted religious tolerance to Protestants. This suggested a prioritization of the monarch's authority over the rights of individuals, particularly in matters of religious freedom. The Edict of Fontainebleau limited the rights of Protestant individuals, suppressing their religious practices and forcing many into exile. This reflects a stance where the monarch's authority took precedence over individual rights, emphasizing central control and religious conformity in the French state.
