While Lothaire waited for politicians to arrive he would hold one last speech toward the revolutionary crowd. To appease the public and the few politicians present:
"Brothers and sisters. This is a mighty victory. But let us not squander it. Let us secure our foothold and our revolution. Let us wait for the Deputies and Peers to arrive so that we may set up a true government, one with support of the people and who will serve the people and not the ancien regime and Jesuits.
I will now present some ideas for France of tommorow. It go without saying that the Petition demanding the repeal of the Ordinances and the Ministers are to be followed.
Further it will be the elected Chamber of Deputies who are to elect the Ministers. This so that the Ministry reflect the will of the people and not the King. This for ideological reasons and practical ones. We only need to see the disastrous Ministries appointed by Charles to understand its flaws. The King still remain to give the final approvement appeasing the Royalists.
There will be no state Church. We are not run by Jesuits, but Catholicism are to ve recognised as the majority religion. Again This should be a good compromise for both sides.
All laws repressing the press are to be done with while expanding the electorate. This go without saying. Our sacrifice will not be in vain!
The National Guard is composed of Parisian citizens. Victims of the arbritations of the reactionaries. They don't have innocent blood on their hands. They will provide for the security of France.
Finally the King are to abdicate. He is out of touch with his time and people. We all deserve a King better suited!"
But when he finished his speech reality would slap him and the men cheering hard right in the face. The Royalists launch a counteroffensive...

This is a good draft. This emphasize that the King and government rule by the consent of the people and not God. The King are the subject to the people. I believe Republicans and Royalists alike can set aside their differences and agree to this.
- The King is not to rule by divine right, but by popular sovereignity i.e the will of the people.
- The King is to rule, but he is not to govern. Still a monarchy is to be the desired form of government, but not an absolute one. His title is to be the King of the French.
- All laws and rules repressing and surpressing the press, free will etc. are to be repealed.
- The King have to swear an oath to the Charter.
- The Charter is to be the contract between the government and the people and the government are not to be above the Charter.
- The National Guard are to be reactivated and its members are to be the security force during these turbulent times. The Royal Army are to withdraw from the Seine in its entirety.
- The suffrage are to be expanded.
- Catholicism are no longer to be the State Religion, but are to be recognised as the religion professed by the majority of the French.
- The King are no longer to instigate legislation nor Royal Ordinances of his own will.
- The Ministry are to be elected by the Chamber of Deputies and approved by the King.
- Hereditary Peerage are to be abolished, but the Chamber of Peers are to remain.
- The Tricolor are to once more be the flag of the French Nation.
- The current King are to abdicate. One who have the support of the people and who support the people are to suceed him.
