Abstract

[The large republican majority in the first Chamber of Deputies was a two-edged sword. In theory, it promised the possibility of legislating a republican agenda. But with strength of numbers came ideological and political differences. Gambetta’s political skills and magic oratory continued to prove vital to the republicans’ electoral triumphs. Eventually even President MacMahon could not ignore their victories and had to appoint a republican ministry. But Gambetta’s prominence in securing this outcome was also a two-edged sword. It raised his public prestige but created jealousies and resentments amongst his colleagues, who became increasingly critical of his politics of compromise.]
