July Revolution
The July Revolution of 1830, also called the Three Glorious Days, overthrew Charles X, the Bourbon king of France, and brought his cousin Louis Philippe, Duke of Orléans, to the throne. On 25 July 1830 Charles issued the July Ordinances, which dissolved the Chamber of Deputies, suspended the liberty of the press and excluded the commercial middle class from future elections. Parisians rose in three days of fighting from 27 July, and on 29 July they took the Hôtel de Ville. On 2 August Charles abdicated and left for Great Britain. The revolution replaced hereditary right with popular sovereignty under the July Monarchy, which fell in 1848.
