France has survived several revolutions in its history, including one in 1830, called the July Revolution. The first French Revolution ended with the reign of the emperor Napoleon. After his eventual defeat, the great powers of the world met in the Congress of Vienna, to discuss what would happen next. Great Britain, Russia, Prussia, and Austria decided to restore the borders of the countries to what they were prior to the French Revolution and reinstate the Bourbon family as the French monarch. This is why Louis XVIII became the new king of France. Unfortunately, after 10 years of kingship, he died and was replaced by his brother, Charles X. Charles appointed his political allies to positions of power. These were men who the entire public openly despised. The public opinion of Charles X dropped further when the capital punishment was extended to the blaspheming of the Eucharist. The people of France disliked this new law because it obviously favored Catholicism, breaking the French constitution known as La Charte, which explicitly stated that no one religion was to be favored by the government. Charles then signed the July Ordinances. Because these new laws suspended the press, dissolved the Camber of Deputies, which was the French version of Parliament, and prohibited the middle class from voting, the French citizens could bear no more. The people of France promptly and brazenly deposed their monarch and instated Louis Philippe, Duke of Orleans, as the new king. Once again, France withstood another revolution.
