Commentary
Jean-Baptiste Drouet d’Erlon, né le 29 juillet 1765 à Reims et mort le 25 janvier 1844 à Paris, est un militaire français, simple soldat de la Révolution devenu général en 1799, fait comte d'Empire par Napoléon, gouverneur général en Algérie entre 1834 et 1835 et élevé à la dignité de maréchal de France en 1843.
La principale place piétonne de Reims, située face à la gare, porte son nom (place Drouet-d'Erlon). Sa statue, due au sculpteur Louis Rochet, située sur cette place à la hauteur de la rue de Châtivesle, a été inaugurée le 28 octobre 1849. Pour ne pas nuire à la perspective de la nouvelle fontaine Subé, elle a été transférée le 31 juillet 1903 à l’angle des boulevards Victor-Hugo et Henry-Vasnier..

Historical background
II REPUBLIC
(02/24/1848-12/2/1852)
During the February 1848 revolution, Louis-Philippe abdicated in favor of his grandson, but the latter was not recognized by the Chambers and, on February 24, the Republic was proclaimed by a decree of the provisional government.. He proclaimed the freedom of work, the abolition of the death penalty in political matters, universal suffrage. The national workshops were created in March 1848. Elections are held in April and result in the success of moderate Republicans. The closing of the national workshops causes riots which are bloodily repressed by General Cavaignac who is appointed chairman of the council. The rebels are executed, imprisoned, deported. Legislative power is entrusted to a single assembly while the President of the Republic, elected by universal suffrage, holds the executive. The latter is Prince Louis Napoleon. He came into conflict with the assembly in 1850 because his re-election was unconstitutional.. Louis Napoleon then engages in the preparation of the coup d'etat which allows him, on December 2, 1851, to install his dictatorship. In November 1852, it was proposed to restore the hereditary imperial dignity. The plebiscite of November 21-22 gives nearly eight million yes for the Empire while the no collected only about 250. 000 votes. On December 2, 1852, Louis Napoleon was proclaimed emperor under the name of Napoleon III..
