He promoted important constitutional reforms, such as the suppression of censorship and replaced catholicism as the State religion as the "religion of the majority" (religion de la majorité). Louis-Philippe was later nicknamed the "king-citizen" (le roi-citoyen).
Armand Auguste Caqué (1793-1881) later became the medallist to Napoleon.
