Chapter 218 The End of the Republican Faction

April 27, 1850.

After a six-day "truce," the Order Party and the "Social Democratic Faction" engaged in a new round of struggle over the decree to "restrict universal suffrage."

Having tested the waters in the first round, Thiers had already roughly gauged the attitude of Parisians toward the "restrictions on universal suffrage." Due to the impact of the two June Revolutions, Parisians had developed an aversion to those workers who went on strike at the drop of a hat. They were not willing to clash with the authorities over these restrictions.

As for those workers who were deprived of their ballots, how could they possibly understand the importance of a vote?

As members of the silent majority, they only hoped their days could be a little better.

After all, the two June uprisings had thoroughly plunged all of Paris's revolutionary fervor into a nadir.
