The
French Second Republic
(or simply the
Second Republic
) was the republican government of France between the 1848 Revolution and the coup by
Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte
which initiated the Second Empire. It officially adopted the motto
Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite
. The Second Republic witnessed the tension between the "Social and Democratic Republic" (French:
la Republique democratique et sociale
) and a liberal form of Republic, which exploded during the June Days Uprising of 1848.
