  Orleanists - LoveToKnow 1911
The political aim of the Orleanists may be said to have been to find a common measure for the monarchical principle and the "rights of man" as set forth by the revolutionary leaders in 1789.
The Orleanist monarchy became so thoroughly middle-class that the nation outside of the pays legal ended by thinking that it was being governed by a privileged class less offensive, but also a great deal less brilliant, than the aristocracy of the old monarchy.
During the Empire the discreet opposition of the Orleanists, exercised for the most part with infinite dexterity and tact, by reticences, omissions, and historical studies in which the Empire was attacked under foreign or ancient names, was a perpetual thorn in the side of Napoleon III.

 Orleanist
Orleanists comprised a French political faction or party which arose out of the Revolution, and ceased to have a separate existence shortly after the establishment of the Third Republic in 1872.
During the Second Empire the discreet opposition of the Orleanists, exercised for the most part with infinite dexterity and tact, by reticences, omissions, and historical studies in which the Empire was attacked under foreign or ancient names, was a perpetual thorn in the side of Napoleon III[?].
In the twentieth century the organisational impetus for the Orleanists passed to radical right wing groups, particularly Action Française who saw the Orleanist cause as the only way to rescue France from what they perceived to be the corruption of the Republic.

 The Second Orleanist Kingdom (1871 to present)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Initial disputes between the either the greater (Bourbon, or Legitimist) or lesser (Bourbon-Orléans, or Orleanist) lines of the on the succession to the throne were resolved in favour of the Orleanists, for the simple reason that the Legitimist faction did not have a viable candidate for the throne.
In a referendum in October of 1871, the establishment of an Orleanist constitutional monarchy was supported by a margin of three-to-one, and the duc de Paris became King Louis-Philippe II.
Orleanists sought to synthesize the principles of the moderate phase of the French Revolution -- a rationalized and secularized administration, and adherence to the principles of classical liberalism and Enlightenment thought -- with constitutional monarchy on the British model.

 CHAMBORD, HENRI CHARLES FERDINAND MARIE DIEUDONNé, COMTE DE. The Columbia Encyclopedia: Sixth Edition. 2000   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Efforts to reconcile his claims with those of the Orleanist pretender, Louis Philippe Albert d’Orléans (see under Orléans, family), after the February Revolution of 1848, met with little success.
In 1871, after the fall of the Second Empire, Chambord’s prospects improved, and in 1873 the Orleanist pretender relinquished his claims in Chambord’s favor.
However, his stubborn adherence to the Bourbon flag in preference to the national flag, destroyed his chance of recognition.

 History of Algeria
By 1870, when the Second Empire collapsed in the Franco-Prussian War, almost two-fifths of the Algerian population was composed of European colonists.
In the century that followed the foundation of the Second Orleanist Kingdom, Algeria evolved into a bifurcated society.
Following the liquidation of communally-held lands under the First Orleanist Kingdom and the Second Empire, the native population of Algeria was left destitute.

 The WSCR Archive: Karl Marx: The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte: VI
It was the unavoidable condition of their common rule, the sole form of state in which their general class interest subjected to itself at the same time both the claims of their particular factions and all the remaining classes of society.
Royalty, in which their antagonism was personified, was to embody their unity, the expression of their exclusive factional interests was to become the expression of their common class interest, the monarchy was to do what only the abolition of two monarchies, the republic, could do and had done.
The old Orleanist ministers, Guizot, Duchatel, etc., who likewise hastened to Claremont to advocate the fusion, in fact represented merely the Katzenjammer over the July Revolution, the despair about the bourgeois kingdom and the kingliness of the bourgeois, the superstitious belief in Legitimacy as the last charm against anarchy.

 World of Therese: Part II
We are going to ignore the differences between the Bourbon monarchy (which lasted for fifteen years) and the Orleanist monarchy (which ruled for the next eighteen years), as well as the very brief Second Republic, followed by the Second Empire (another twenty-two years).
After 1830, we have the Orleanist regime of King Louis Philippe -- from a junior branch of the Bourbon family -- which was administered largely by ministers.
Following the overthrow of the Orleanist monarchy (1848) we have the Second Republic, the one with Louis Napoleon Bonaparte as president; but within four years this folded into the Second Napoleonic Empire, with the same man crowned as Emperor Napoleon III.

 19th century French politics
Monarchists were dominant in parliament in the initial years of the Third Republic but lost their chance due to Legitimist/Orleanist splits, and later ceased to be significant.
They lost their opportunity due to failure to resolve the Legitimist/Orleanist split and the unrealistic and extreme views of the Legitimist candidate for the throne.
Subsequent Bonapartist advances led the Orleanists to combine with the moderate Republicans against them, and the constitution of the Third Republic was settled in 1875.

 Pretender
Deposed monarchs are not seen as pretenders, as the term only applies to those who have never occupied the throne.
Following the death of the childless legitimist pretender 'Henry V', Comte de Chambord, grandson of King Charles X of France in the 1880s, the majority of Legitimists accepted the Comte's selection as heir, the Orleanist pretender, the Comte de Paris, grandson of King Louis-Philippe as the Legitimist pretender to the French throne.
Hence there are in effect two legitimist pretenders, though the Orleanist pretender, the modern Comte de Paris, is generally accepted by most French monarchs as the pretender, as the list below shows.

 Conservative Resistance to Revolution in France   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
While the legitimists were initially gratified to see Louis-Philippe and the Orleanists punished for the events of 1830, they were no less immobilized than their dynastic rivals by the fear of social revolution.
With the formation of the Comité de la Rue de Poitiers, Orleanists and legitimists formed a formidable parliamentary party of order capable of coordinating electoral activity, diffusing anti-sociali st propaganda, organizing petitions drives, and resisting such policies as the nationalization of insurance companies an the continuation of the national workshops.
Many Orleanists and legitimists who might otherwise have supported parliame ntary institutions accepted the coup d'etat of 1851 as a guarantee against the political and social reform with which they associated the republic.

The most effective proof of power they gave was to render possible the expulsion from power of Adolphe Thiers on 24 May 1873, as punishment for his dexterous imposition of the Third Republic on the unwilling majority of the Assembly.
After the 16 May 1877 crisis and the 1883 death of the comte de Chambord, most orleanists progressively began to imitate Thiers' "rallying" to the Republic.
The chief occupation of the Orléanists now consisted in endeavouring to bring about a fusion between themselves and the Legitimists which should unite the two royalist parties for the confusion of the Bonapartists and Republicans.

 The Succession to the French throne
The legitimist position is that the succession to the throne is dictated by centuries-old custom, and cannot be altered by anyone: thus, there is no legal way that the male-line, legitimate, Catholic issue of a grandson of Louis XIV could be excluded.
In France, however, monarchism of the legitimist or orleanist variety has remained a "party" among others (always out of power), and increasingly attractive only to a certain segment of the political spectrum.
For practical purposes, the labels "legitimists" and "orleanists", which properly belong to the context of French politics between 1830 and 1883, have been retained to designate the supporters of the Spanish line and the Orléans line, respectively.

 French royal claimant cannot call himself Bourbon, court rules   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Henri d'Orleans, count of Paris and rival pretender to the throne of France, is banned from using the ancient royal name of Bourbon because it was abandoned by his family in the 17th century, France's high court of appeal ruled.
The decision scuppered Orleanist hopes of reclaiming the dynastic title, which will now remain with the senior branch of the royal house -- represented by Louis Alphonse de Bourbon, duke of Anjou and the other contender for the throne.
It seems the original plan was for de Gaulle to groom and put forth the Orleanist pretender, Henri, as his annointed candidate for the second presidential term beginning in 1965, and that once in office, Henri could gradually win hearts and minds leading up to an eventual national plebescite on restoring the monarchy.

And since he was old and childless, his successor would be the Count de Paris, the Orleanist, who would be next in line for the throne by ancient French law.
The two aspirants agreed to this arrangement, but they could not agree on what would be the restored monarchy's flag.
The Orleanist insisted on the tricolor, the revolutionary red, white, and blue stripes that his ancestor, Louis Philippe, adopted after the successful July 1830 revolution against the legitimists.
