Le président Lainé et ­l’apprentissage du parlementarisme sous la restauration

Better known as the deputy of the Empire who protested against the restriction of freedoms, the president of the first two Restoration Assemblies, Lainé, played a crucial role in the application of the Charta, and its practical application in exceptional situations. Succeeding the ephemeral presidents of the Revolutionary Assemblies, Lainé managed to make a place for the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies which became a space of debate and freedom within a limited monarchy.
