Abstract
Whether it is to be considered in the narrow context of the reign of Louis-Philippe or the broader one of the history of French political institutions, the parliamentarianism of the July Monarchy is an important phenomenon. In a recent article, Charles Pouthas has demonstrated numerically the importance of the lower chamber in the political life of the period.' He finds, for example, that from 1830 to 1848 the proportion of ministers who were or had been deputies when they obtained their portfolios was more than twice what it had been during the Restoration; and in 1846 all seven of the nonmilitary members of the cabinet had received mandates to the lower house.2
