Louis Philippe in France (sep 20, 1830 – aug 9, 1848)

Description:

the king of the French from 1830 to 1848; having based his rule on the support of the upper bourgeoisie, he ultimately fell from power because he could not win the allegiance of the new industrial classes. In 1830 Charles X’s attempt to enforce repressive ordinances touched off a rebellion (July 27–30) that gave him his long-awaited opportunity to gain power. Following the terminology of the Constitution of 1791, Louis-Philippe was on August 9 proclaimed “king of the French by the grace of God and the will of the people.” A modified version of the Charter of 1814 was issued, which the new king was obliged to accept.
