Seems like there's a move afoot to re-litigate the French revolution.

Is the government for the people or are the people for the government?

If the people exist to glorify the government, and the government exists to glorify a person, what is yours?

To be precise, "L'état c'est moi" is an expression attributed to Louis XIV, about 100 years before the French Revolution.

It means that the monarchy is above the parliament.
