Louis Napoleon had lead a military takeover or the French democratic republican government. The other great European powers, with the exception of England and Belgium at the time did not have parliaments or they were powerless and the countries were all monarchies with most of the monarchies and the aristocracy hateful of anything involving sharing their power with legislatures. This is despite the incredible success of England with its Constitutional Monarchy and Queen who was very pleased with it.
