Ancient name but the new history: Louis 18th
The reign of Louis 18th, king of France(1755-1824) is the
continuation of return to order of Napoleon, except the return to Napoleon on
the France , in year 1815, a short time
called of hundred days; anyway excluded this short Napoleonic presence,
Louis 18th has continued the Napoleonic policy, of reign of
Napoleon, not declared but effective ; it is a lesson of history that Louis 18th
has understood , because a read to the constitution of Louis 18th is very explicative
of this concept; he has balanced the regal power to the Napoleonic, or
revolutionary rights: in fact the new constitution, regard to privileges “…are
deleted regard to social class”; it is
the first clue of the change of policy, because the Revolution burst for these class
privileges, hence Louis 18th has learned that it is motive for the radical and revolutionary change;
inasmuch the first cause must be abolished; the freedom of cults, by now the
Revolution has past, hence the Napoleonic freedom must remain, although
Napoleon has had the strong control on the bishops, but the catholic cult was
recognized of major religion in France, that in the constitution of 1814 became
the religion of French State; but the freedom of other cults were tolerated;
the change of Napoleon; the change from Napoleon to Louis 18th,
regard the policy were very short; in fact the religious policy was took from
the Napoleonic code, in the constitution of Louis 18th we can find
the same concept expressed from the code, above all the national goods, that
the State can expropriate but alone for the public use; the same article that
the Napoleonic code has used; and regard to expropriation of Revolution, that
in 2th November 1789, the national assembly had declared that the goods of the
Church are expropriated because the public balance was very serious; hence the
same concept that both Napoleon and
Louis 18th have expressed, the good can be expropriated for the national motive and in conformity of
Napoleon has inserted in his code and
after the fixed to Pious 7th
pope. It is a historical lesson
that Louis 18th has learned
very good, because he has also kept the
National assembly , but limited fro the election, from the richness; in short
he has took from ancient regime and he has used the new wit of Napoleon, and
naturally of Revolution, that he has limited, as Napoleon, for its extremism.
Thence we can think Louis 18th as the more monarchic of Napoleonic.
Explicative are some words of Louis 18th : “…neither the new, nor
ancient of laws that is going to be merit and the their true useful. When I
have reduce everything to public useful, and I haven’t spook about the justice
to everybody, and it is alone is the true public good…”; it is certainly aren’t
alone beautiful words, but a concept, that during the reign of his brother,
this is Louis 16th aren’t, because the unique interest were of
aristocracy and clergy, hereby the time and moral were changed, the history has
been a irreplaceable master. And also the following words are meaningful: “…the
freedom, this words whose very much has abused everybody is enclosed, and for
its exception, it isn’t less important for the king than for the citizen”. Certainly
the Revolution has learned very much.
