La Nation, la Loi, le Roi
La Nation, la Loi, le Roi (English: The Nation, the Law, the King) was the national motto of France during the constitutional period of the French monarchy, and is an example of a tripartite motto – much like the popular revolutionary slogan; Liberté, égalité, fraternité.
The motto itself was featured on the French constitution of 1791[1] – and also on currency of the period.[2][3]
