the poor deserved better in being paid whilst unemployed. The unemployment rate nearly hit 56 percent
of all people in France causing a severe panic in many people. Families were starving under un-fair
government which had returned back to its old ways of conservatism and became a 2nd republic again.

of King Louis XVIII France turned to violence and lower economy again. The Parisians revolted in
1848 because of the unemployment rate and most importantly the reinstatement of a conservative
monarchy once again..
