Sénat conservateur

1799–1814 · 18th century · Also known as Conservative Senate

The Sénat conservateur was the senate of France under the Consulate and the First Empire, created by the constitution of 1799. Appointed and docile for most of its life, it endorsed Napoleon's rule, but in April 1814, with the allies in Paris, it proclaimed his deposition and called Louis XVIII to the throne. It was replaced by the Chamber of Peers under the Bourbon Restoration.
