Address of the 221

The Address of the 221 was a formal declaration presented to King Charles X of France by the liberal majority in the Chambre des députés on 18 March 1830, during the opening of the parliamentary session. The address signaled strong opposition to the ultra-royalist policies of the government led by Jules, Prince of Polignac. Widely regarded as a pivotal moment in the political crisis of the Bourbon Restoration, the address contributed to the tensions that culminated in the July Revolution of 1830.[1][2]
