president of the Provisional Republic, said to the National Assembly in
1873, that "There is only one throne and three men cannot sit on it!"
Although the Assembly was composed of a great majority of Monarchists,
400 out of 650, representing primarily the aristocracy, the Catholic Church,
and the Army, they could not agree on the choice of a king. Thus, the nation
became incapable of returning to a monarchical system; the legitimists
wanted a Bourbon King, the Orleanists wanted the Comte de Chambord, or
the Comte de Paris, and the Bonapartists wanted another Emperor, and no
one would compromise. This marked the end for the monarchy in France,
and the Left and Right system, which had worked since 1789, began to break
down, when the monarchist majority finally agreed to create a Republic, in
spite of their own personal political proclivities. This false Republic was
actually established in 1875, after a multitude of new constitutional drafts
had been debated, and rejected one after the other.
2- The Third Republic Constitutional framework had to adopt a
stopgap measure to facilitate the transfer from a Left to Right regime; that is,
a measure contrived to fit an adapter suited for both a presidential rule as
well as a monarchical rule and provide that the chair of the President were to
be transformable into a throne. It was almost by accident that this phony
Third Republic was voted in by means of the introduction of an amendment
to a 1875 draft Constitution. It was an obscure provincial professor of
classical studies named Wallon, who proposed that "A President of the
Republic should be elected by absolute majority vote of the Senate and the
Chamber sitting as the National Assembly. He is elected for seven years and
is re-eligible." The motion was carried with 353 in favor and 352 against.
3- The Third Republic established the function of a President with the
executive authority to dissolve the Chamber of Deputies, with the consent of
the Senate. This is how the Third Republic of 1875 was created against the
general welfare of the whole French population and its posterity, by securing
an arbitrary clause that pitted the Executive Branch against the Legislative
Branch. The French legislators had "forgotten" that the Executive Branch
and Legislative Branch had to be balanced, not exclusive. Thus the President
of the Third Republic became an authority figurehead under the control of
Central Bankers and separated from the body of government. This
Constitution lasted for 65 years, until 1940, the longest period of any
Constitution in all of French history. That is a long period of time for a body
to remain alive without a head.
