Question

Who is guizot?What were his aims?

Answer 1

Guizot was a dominant figure in French politics prior to the Revolution of 1848. A conservative liberal who opposed the attempt by King Charles X to usurp legislative power, he worked to sustain a constitutional monarchy following the July Revolution of 1830.

Joining the first Bourbon Restoration(1814), Guizot emerged as an influential proponent of constitutional monarchy, a position that earned him the lasting hatred of ultraroyalist groups. His own views were shared by a group called the Doctrinaires, whose platform Guizot explained in his Du gouvernement représentatif et de l’état actuel de la France (1816; “On Representative Government and the Present Condition of France”).
