Abstract
The liberal opposition carefully avoided the “revolutionary” innuendoes of the militants and began instead to speak in terms of “legal resistance”. Communication with the provinces was possible through the well-organized Aide-toi electoral societies and also by the press, preponderantly critical of the Bourbon regime. Since the Chamber of Deputies was in recess, the first response to the August 8 challenge had to be in the press.
