The Revolution of July 1830 resulted in the abdication of Charles X and the installation of Louis-Philippe (1773-1850) as King of France. From the Jewish perspective, the most significant act of the new regime was this law of February 8th, 1831, whereby Jewish clergy were no longer excluded from the category of civil servants, but rather were to receive government salaries alongside their Christian counterparts. The broader implication of this new legislation was that Catholicism no longer enjoyed the status of official religion of France. See Z. Szajkowski, Jews and the French Revolutions of 1789, 1830 and 1848, pp. 1024-28
