During the 19th century, France had a wide variety of government types - four dictatorships, two constitutional monarchies, two empires, and three republics. The French government was very unreliable and ever-changing. Directly after the French Revolution, a two house legislative body formed. This expanded power to the bourgeois. However, later power was returned solely to kings. After two kings, Louis XVII and Charles X, both of who were very disliked, power was transferred to Louis Philippe.…

During the French Revolution, the people killed off King Louis XVI and abolished the position of king. A few years Napoleon, once a general for a French army, crowned himself king. Everything that the people of France worked for to get the hierarchy abolished just crumbled down and there was really no way in stopping another king to come under power.

For instance, towards the middle of the Lord of the Flies, Jack decided to break away from Ralph, who made positive changes for the boys, and therefore deciding to create his own new group that was isolated from Ralph’s. For example, Jack states, “I’m going off by myself. He can catch his own pigs.

As we will see, Quebec's national identity has emerged out of political struggles; cultural, historical, and institutional differences; and the French language. The First Nations people, too, have encountered a great deal of conflict and hardship in the formation of their identity. The following paper will identify similarities and differences between the formation of Quebec's national identity with that of First Nations peoples. Demographically until about 1830, the French Canadians were in…
