There was another set of provisions in this document of even greater... importance than those determining the future form of government.
Provisions namely, that in which the civil rights of Frenchmen were concerning narrated. These provisions showed how much of the ng s work of the Revolution and of Napoleon the Bourbons were prepared to accept. They were intended to reassure the people 270 THE RESTORATION AND THE REVOLUTION 271 of France, who feared to see in the Restoration a loss of Hberties or rights which had become most precious to them.
