One might say, transitional. The Revolution of 1848 had got rid of King Louis-Philippe (the first and only King of the Orléans line) and installed the Fourth Republic. The President was Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, who became, in 1848, the Emperor Napoleon III.
In 1830, when Charles X was deposed in favour of Louis-Philippe. The latter was in his turn deposed in 1848, and there were no more Kings.
He was the nephew and heir of Napoleon Bonaparte. He was elected President of France in 1848 before conducting a coup d'etat and becoming Emperor Napoleon III until his capture by the Prussians at Sedan in 1870.
A moderate constitution was drawn up in 1848. It called for a parliament and a strong president to be elected by the people. France accepted a strong ruler. In December 1848, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, won the presidential election. However, the people of France had wanted a generous democratic republic, but instead the Constituent Assembly completed a constitution featuring a strong executive. Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte then declared himself Emperor Napoleon III of France against the wishes of the National Assembly. So ultimately in place of a democratic republic, France was left under a Dictatorship.
The 1848 revolution in France established the Second French Republic. The people saw in Louis Napoleon, later called Napoleon III, as a leader to correct the wrongs of the previous regime. This wasn't to be however, as this Napoleon fooled the people. He pretended to govern a democratic government but instead he used the secret police to suppress popular opinion. Early on he gained support by legalizing trade unions and giving them a limited power of voting. He allowed the right to strike as well. He provided programs for public works and got the middle classes involved in the economy with new banking and finance regulations. When at last the people saw that he had "stolen" the 1848 revolution, he made the error of becoming involved in a war with Prussia. He actually was captured by the Prussians. This was basically the end of the 1848 revolution and the 2nd French Republic.
The revolution of 1848 meant the end of king Louis Philippe's rule. The Second Republic was declared, and its Constitution gave much power to a directly elected President. When the election for the Presidency was held in late 1848, Louis Napoleon put forward his candidacy and he went on to win the election, becoming the Republic's President.

The second Republic was the regime which replaced monarchy after the French revolution of 1848. In 1815, following the fall of Napoleon, the monarchy was restored. A revolution in 1830 resulted in a change of King, but the 1848 saw the definitive overthrow of monarchy in France.However, the second Republic was short-lived, as Napoleon's nephew, Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, seized power and changed the regime for a second empire in 1852.
