I'm currently looking into, and beginning the first draft of an alternate long nineteenth century for France. One of the ideas that I have been playing around with is the possibility of having a stable Second Republic without the ascencion of Louis-Napoleon as President?
It's my understanding that the reason the second Republic was a failure was due to there being no resolution concerning disputes between Dupont and the Assembly.

In what way could the French Second Republic have survived?
