		The interests of the monarchy had ceased to coincide with those of the people, and dissatisfaction grew on all sides-an accumulation of grievances that mere reforms and concessions were unable to assuage.
		The government remained monarchic and aristocratic; the economy had passed into the hands of merchants, lawyers, manufacturers, and engineers-all legally barred from enjoying the prerogatives reserved for the nobility -a privileged elite that, together with the clergy, constituted less than one percent of the population in a nation of twenty-four million.
