Louis XVIII's return to power in France in 1814 implied the start of the Bourbon Restoration.
Explanation:
After the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1814, the Allies restored the House of Bourbon on the French throne. The period that came was called the Restoration, characterized by a sharp conservative reaction and the reestablishment of the Catholic Church as political power in France. But the governments of Louis XVIII (between 1814 and 1824) and Charles X (1824-1830) had to accept some realities that arose with the French Revolution, such as the constitutional monarchy, parliamentarism, the redistribution of the land carried out during the end of the eighteenth century and the disappearance of the old artisan guilds.
This period was characterized by a profound transformation of political and social life in France, which occurred more at the social level than on the surface of the State. The monarchist sectors sought to end all vestiges of the French Revolution, while the bourgeoisie tried to overcome a period of 25 years of catastrophes and re-elaborate a viable political and economic program that, at the same time, recovered some useful elements of the revolution.
Authorizing the <u>14th Amendment</u>, guaranteeing individual rights, was one way the government attempted to give blacks the rights of full citizenship.
