Conservative Party (RRG)

The Conservative Party was a reactionary political party in the early years of the Second Republic. Founded by members of the National Party who rejected the new liberal Radical Constitution, the Conservative Party aimed to return to First Republic. The party called for a return to the 1841 Constitution, which would strengthen the role of the Church and establish a limited suffrage.

The unpopularity of the Conservative Party's platform would rapidly lead its members to leave for the more moderate Party of Order, especially after the attempted military coup in 1854, which was endorsed by some of the most extreme members of the party.
