Politics in eighteenth-century France was dominated by the
relationship between the crown and the magistrates of the Parlement
of Paris. The Parlement provided a traditional check upon the
King's authority, but after 1750 it entered a period of prolonged
confrontation with the government of Louis XV. The religious,
financial and administrative policies of the monarchy were subject
to sustained opposition, and the magistrates employed arguments
which challenged the foundations of royal authority. This struggle
was brought to an abrupt conclusion in 1771, when Chancellor de
Maupeou implemented a royal revolution, breaking the power of the
Parlement. In order to explain why the crown and the Parlement
drifted into conflict, this study re-examines the conduct of
government under Louis XV, the role of the magistrates, and the
structure of judicial politics in eighteenth-century France.
