After the fall of Napoleon, France established a constitutional monarchy known as the Bourbon Restoration. This period, which began in 1814, sought to restore the monarchy under King Louis XVIII while implementing reforms to address revolutionary ideals. The government was characterized by a constitutional charter that granted some civil liberties and shared power with an elected legislature, though royal authority remained significant. Despite initial attempts at stability, political tensions persisted between royalists and republicans, leading to further unrest. The Bourbon Restoration ultimately ended with the 1830 July Revolution, paving the way for the establishment of the July Monarchy.
