Chapter 300: The Patron Saint of Socialism?
January 10, 1851.
The constitution of the French Third Republic was finalized in a month's process under the guise of the Minister of Justice, Ruet.
The constitution of the Third Republic is more restrictive than the constitution of the Second Republic, which is more restrictive on the power of the president, who is given direct authority and the power to dissolve parliament at any time.
The Legislative Assembly has also changed its name to the Legislative Council, but all members of the Legislative Council must start as "official candidates", and the next round of elections can only be held after they have the status of "official candidates", and the chairman and vice-president of the Legislative Council are appointed by the President from among the "representatives".
Members of the Legislative Council no longer have the same salary as they did during the Republic, and each member receives an allowance of 25 francs per person per day during the session.
The "Second House", which functions as the House of Lords, was also established on January 15, and the Constitution of the Third Republic stipulates that the persons who can enter the "Second House" are, in addition to the special approval of the President, those who are already well-known in France, such as cardinals, marshals, admirals, etc.
The Constitution stipulates that the number of members of the "Second House" cannot exceed 150 and that it is responsible for interpreting the Constitution, resolving issues not provided for in the Constitution, and reviewing laws.
In addition to the Legislative Council and the "Second House", the Constitution also provides for the Senate, an independent body whose members are appointed and dismissed by the President himself, with a total of about 40 to 50 members, each of whom receives an annual allowance of 20,000 francs.
The President presides over the Senate and, in his absence, appoints a Vice-President of the Council. "The Senate, under the leadership of the President of the Republic, prepares draft laws and government regulations to resolve administrative difficulties." Whenever the Senate meets with the Legislative Council, the Senate upholds the bills proposed "in the name of the government". The Senate's work involves both the legislative and the executive, and therefore plays a complex role in political life.
The National Assembly and the Supreme Court, the two "behemoths" of the Second Republic, were replaced by Jérôme. Bonaparte was completely divided into an organization dominated by executive power.
The Legislative Council, the Second Chamber and the Senate all swore to the outside world that the legislative power and the judicial interpretation power had been completely reduced to the vassalage of the executive power, and that the person who held the executive power of the whole of France was none other than Jérôme. Bonaparte.
On January 15, after an "intense" election, Jérôme. Bonaparte finally completed the number of the Senate and the "Second House", and the first "Second House" adhered to the principle of preferring shortage to abundance, and chose 80 people as representatives of the "Second House", and the Senate also chose 40 conservative people as representatives.
On January 18, Jérôme. Bonaparte announced the official opening of the first "legislature" elections for the French Third Republic.
In order to express their support for the new regime, senior provincial officials personally appointed "official candidates" to hold elections, which lasted 12 days, and except for the six "official opposition" members who acted as a façade, the remaining legislators were loyal to the new regime.
On January 31, the President of the French Third Republic, Jérôme. Bonaparte personally set out by car from the Tuileries Palace to the Legislative Assembly at the Palais Bourbon.
In the Legislative Assembly of the Palais Bourbon, Jérôme. Bonaparte received a round of applause from all the deputies of the Legislative Council.
"Let's have Jérôme invited. Bonaparte came to power to speak! "Blair, the chairman of the Legislative Corps, sat on the podium where Speaker Dobin had sit. Bonaparte was forced to take the presidency, and in the name of helping Bonaparte through the difficult times, Blair could only agree to Jérôme. Bonaparte served as president for a while.
Amid the applause of the Legislative Council, Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed to the delegates, and he slowly came to the podium to explain to the legislature the draft prepared by his secretary-general, Walewski, the previous night.
During the speech, representatives of the Legislative Corps from time to time expressed their views on Jérôme. Bonaparte gave a round of applause.
The first Legislative Assembly was held in Jérôme. Bonaparte departed and ended.
Early the next morning, the Paris newspaper began to exert its full force, and the Observer newspaper declared that "the legislature is the symbol of democracy in France!" ”
The newspaper Bonaparte aimed at Jérôme. Bonaparte's speech made an important evaluation.
Other newspapers that were obedient to the Bonapartist faction also preached the advanced nature of the "legislature" system from various angles, and even Proudhon was directed against Jérôme. Bonaparte made a rare positive assessment, claiming that "Jérôme. Bonaparte was a true patron saint of socialism! ”
"Patronus?" Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Proudhon's "People" with tears and laughter as he commented on him.
If he didn't know anything about Proudhon, he almost thought that Proudhon was implying him, and there was a little bit of a real socialist in everything he did.
Right here in Jérôme. While Bonaparte was reading the French and foreign newspapers with great interest, Walewski, the head of the secretary's office, entered the study.
"What happened?" Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced up at Valevsky.
"Your Excellency, Russian Diplomatic Ambassador Vladimirovich asks for a meeting!" Valevsky vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.
Vladimirovich? What did he come to do?
Jérôme. Bonaparte thought to himself that he did not understand whether Vladimirovich had brought France the goodwill of the Russian Empire or a decree of war from the Russian Empire.
Valley/Span Jérôme. Bonaparte put down the newspaper in his hand and got up and ordered Valewski to bring the guests over.
After Valevsky left the room, Jérôme . Bonaparte sat slowly on the couch.
Under the leadership of Valevsky, Vladimirovich was soon brought to Jérôme. Bonaparte's face.
"Your Excellency!" Vladimirovich paid tribute to the French dictator without humility.
"Please be seated!" Jérôme. Bonaparte stretched out his hand and invited Vladimirovich to sit down.
Seeing that Vladimirovich was seated, Valevsky, who had completed his mission, left the study.
Only Jérôme was left in the study. Bonaparte and Vladimirovich.
"Your Excellency, congratulations on your victory over the Council!" Vladimirovich vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte congratulated.
Jérôme. Bonaparte said in a flat tone: "This is the duty entrusted to me by the French people, and I am only respecting the will of the French people!" ”
Vladimirovich looked at the French dictator in front of him with a smile, and he did not want to believe a single word of what was being said from the dictator's mouth.
Just half a year ago, President Jérôme . Bonaparte also swore to him that he would leave work at the end of the day.
But who would have thought that after only half a year, the president who had announced that he would leave work at the end of the day would become an archon with a ten-year term, thanks to the dictator's face, and he did not change his term of office to life.
When Vladimirovich presented everything that had happened in France back to the Russian Empire and warned the country to be careful of Jérôme. It is quite possible that Bonaparte will change the republic into an empire.
Tsar Nicholas I, who received Vladimirovich's letter, was uncharacteristically pleased with what had happened in the French Republic and wrote to Gérôme himself. Bonaparte's swift suppression of the "Red Revolution" and the actions of the liberals saved France.
Cal. Nischerrodi also wrote to declare: "Jérôme. The empty talk of the Red Party and the Constitutionalist ideologues that Bonaparte smashed in one fell swoop made them powerless to make a comeback! ”
When Vladimirovich received two letters of praise by name, he almost thought that there was something wrong with his letter to the country.
Vladimirovich was not mistaken, as the letterhead he sent from France to St. Petersburg was sent to Foreign Minister Karl Murphyll. After being in the hands of Nesherro Die, it was partially redacted.
Cal. Neschelrodi believed that this letter would have serious consequences for the Russian Empire, and that rash delivery of the Tsar's words would lead to a crisis in the finances of the Russian Empire.
The Tsar, who received the letter, would not sit idly by and watch the French Republic completely fall into Jérôme. In Bonaparte's hands, once the army in his hands is used, it will inevitably lead to a financial crisis.
For a country that is already in shambles, any large-scale action would put the government's finances in jeopardy.
The Russian Empire had already paid for the "willfulness" of the Tsar in 1848-1850, and categorically could no longer pay for the "willfulness" of the Tsar in 1851.
Cal. Nischel Rodie intercepted a part of Jérôme. The content of Bonaparte's coup d'état in power focused on the crushing of the Red Revolution and the liberals.
If one day things come to light, Karl. Nesserrody can also kick Vladimirovich out of the Foreign Ministry for "concealment", and it is better to send him to Siberia.
Sure enough, after receiving Carl. Immediately after the letter that Nesherro had handed over to him, Nicholas I wrote a letter in his own handwriting and asked Karl to write a letter to him. Nesherro was handed over to Jérôme. Bonaparte.
The letterhead was sent in late January, and after landing in Calais, it came to Vladimirovich.
Vladimirovich, after receiving the letter, came to Jérôme. Bonaparte gave him the letter.
"This is a letter from your Majesty Nicholas I!" Vladimirovich handed the letter to Jérôme. Bonaparte.
Jérôme. Bonaparte took Vladimirovich's letterhead and opened it, and after a cursory glance at the contents of the letterhead, he said with a smile on his face: "Thank you Tsar Nikolai for your support to me!" The French Republic will never forget its friendship with the Russian Empire! But ......"
