Party of Order

The Rue de Poitiers Committee (French: Comité de la rue de Poitiers), best known as Party of Order (French: Parti de l'Ordre), was a political group, formed by monarchists and conservatives, in the French parliament during the French Second Republic. It included monarchist members from both the Orleanist and Legitimist factions, and also some republicans who admired the American model of government. After the 1848 elections to the French Parliament, it was the second-largest group of deputies, after the moderate Republicans, with 250 of the 900 seats in the Parliament. Prominent members included Adolphe Thiers, Francois Guizot, and Alexis de Toqueville.
