PARIS. Proclamation of LOUIS-NAPOLÉON BONAPARTE President of the Republic. "CALL TO THE PEOPLE." - Done at the Elysée Palace, December 2, 1851. "French! The current situation cannot continue any longer. Every day that goes by worsens the country's dangers. The Assembly, which was supposed to be the order's strongest support, has become a hotbed of conspiracies... Convinced of the instability of the Power, that the preponderance of a single Assembly are permanent causes of trouble and discord, I submit to your votes the fundamental bases of a Constitution that the Assemblies will later develop. 1°) A responsible Chief appointed for 10 years. 2°) Ministers dependent on the Executive Branch alone; 3°) A Council of State..., 4°) A Legislative Body..., 5°) A Second Assembly..." - Composition of the Ministry - The National Assembly is dissolved. - Printed at Boucquin, 5 rue de la Sainte-Chapelle, in Paris.
