In February 1848, French crowds again revolted by blocking streets, and they forced Louis Philippe from the throne. Various factions fought for power. Ultimately the conflict turned into a struggle between the upper and middle-classes and the workers. In the end, a constitution was created that allowed every adult male a vote.
