La Nation, la Loi, le Roi (lit. '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 the currency of the period.[2][3]
