King Louis-Philippe in France

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

King Louis-Philippe cooperated with François Guizot and the Party of Resistance against the Party of Movement, which prioritized democratic and social reforms. He was known to be a conservative monarch who resisted change and upheld the interests of the elites over the working class. He did not do much to help the impoverished industrial workers, and the reforms in the electoral system were limited and often designed to maintain his own grip on power. While Louis-Philippe was indeed the son of the former reactionary King Charles X, this fact is not directly relevant to the question at hand. His cause of death is also not relevant.
