Charter of 1830

The Charter of 1830 (French: Charte de 1830) instigated the July Monarchy in France.

On August 7, the Charter of 1814 was revised, and its preamble evoking the Ancien Régime was eliminated.

On 9 August 1830, Louis-Philippe d'Orléans swore to uphold the Charter and was crowned "King of the French" (roi des Français) rather than "King of France" (roi de France).

The initiation of the laws was no longer exclusive of the king, and members of both chambers could propose bills.

The census suffrage system was modified and the poll tax (cens) was reduced to 200 francs permitting individuals 25 years old or older to vote, and to 500 francs for individuals 30 years old or older to be elected to the Chamber of Deputies.

The Charter of 1830 depicted in the Coat of Arms of the Kingdom of the French from 1831–1848.
