A “mob” is a HUGE, angry group of people. It can also be used to just to describe “the people.” Consider who might think of the “the people” as a Mob!? 

*** “Italy” does not exist. Lots of “italian” states. Some of the Northern states actually belong to catholic AUSTRIA. Austrian empire BIG. VERY diverse. Hapsburgs still rule. Northern “ITalian” states will rebel against Catholic austria!. OTHER southern italians states will say “let’s help!!” The is the ruler of Rome. 

ALL workers, the Proletariat(!) are essentially the same. The ideas of Marx had no national boundary, no religious difference, no gender inequality. ALL workers share the same thing GLOBALLY. They had been oppressed by the economic inequality of laissez faire capitalism. His historical dialectic....(based on research, scientific inquiry) said that it was inevitable for the the proletariat to OVERTHROW the bourgeoise(who oppressed them) just as the BOURGEOISIE had overthrown the Old Regime in France in 1789

++++Expanding the franchise, the right to votes gives a larger part of the population a voice. England recognized this. France, and the rest of europe's govt. DID NOT. 

France Revolution. BASED ON social/economic inequality! (Marx actually said this French Rev 1848(the june days( would be a dress rehearsal for a later Proletarian revolution AGAINST the bourgeoisie) It STARTS in FEB 1848(!)2nd Republic born, Louis Philipple GONE! Drama begins in feb. Euro nations nervous w what they saw(think WHY? Base on france's rev history....) Part of the reason for the unrest was a terrible economy. Lots of unemployment, like HALF of Paris. A temporary govt created. This temp gov will create national workshops to employ the unemployed. Bread prices will be reduced (annoying folks in countryside) The national workshops prove really expensive and wealthy are like “why do we have to pay for this” & then the GOV ran out of $$ to pay for ‘em!!! JUNE! the workshops closed. Parisian workers rose in rebellion! BACK TO THE BARRICADES!!! “June Days” The gov and soldiers from conservative provinces in france came to paris and crushed the rebellion. The temp govt restricted speech, assembly. The temp gov would become PERMANENT w nov elections. who would run???

Louis napoleon was popular due to his name. Romantics believed “this is the guy!!” really, due 2 his name. he wins in a landslide. He represents the “party of order.” The assembly will elect lots of socialist from BIG cities and NOW EVEN the countryside! They want CHANGE. More $, no more tax on wine, banks 4 the poor, free public schools. nOW!! 1850!!What do lots Machiavellian leaders do when threatened? They say “there is a plot!! Someone has tried to kill me! Louis Nap NO different. Bans old revolutionary symbols, hats, colors, tri color, cuts down liberty trees, workers associations (not unions) BANNED, public schools were turned over to the Church to run.(Falloux Law) In May 1850, the assembly (which has many socialists but only 1/3) ban universal male suffrage. (Dec 2, 1851)Since Louis Nap was constitutionally only allowed to serve ONE term, he just will declare himself Emperor! End of 2nd rep, birth of Louis Napoloeon iii and 2nd Empire. Ironically, or coincidentally it’s the same day that his uncle declared himself emperor decades before. This was a COUP. Workers, artisans, peasants fought Loius Nap to save the republic but are beaten.
