On 7 August 1830, the [[1814 Charter]] was revised. The preamble reviving the {{lang|fr|[[Ancien Régime]]}} was suppressed, and the [[King of France]] became the "[[King of the French]]", (also known as the "Citizen King") establishing the principle of [[national sovereignty]] over the principle of the [[divine right of kings|divine right]]. The new Charter was a compromise between the {{lang|fr|[[Doctrinaires]]}} opposition to Charles X and the Republicans. Laws enforcing Catholicism and [[censorship (France)|censorship]] were repealed and the revolutionary [[Flag of France|tricolor flag]] re-established.

Louis-Philippe pledged his oath to the [[1830 Charter]] on 9 August setting up the beginnings of the July Monarchy. Two days later, the first cabinet was formed, gathering the constitutionalist opposition to Charles X, including {{lang|fr|[[Casimir Pierre Perier|Casimir Perier]]|italic=no}}, the banker {{lang|fr|[[Jacques Laffitte]]|italic=no}}, [[Louis-Mathieu Molé|Count Molé]], the [[Victor de Broglie (1785-1870)|duke of Broglie]], {{lang|fr|[[François Guizot]]|italic=no}}, etc. The new government's first aim was to restore public order, while at the same time appearing to acclaim the revolutionary forces which had just triumphed. Assisted by the people of Paris in overthrowing the Legitimists, the Orléanist bourgeoisie had to establish its new order.

Louis-Philippe decided on 13 August 1830 to adopt the arms of the House of Orléans as state symbols. Reviewing a parade of the Parisian National Guard on 29 August which acclaimed the adoption, he exclaimed to its leader, [[Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette|Lafayette]]: "This is worth more to me than [[Coronation of the French monarch|coronation at Reims]]!".<ref>{{langx|fr|«&thinsp;Cela vaut mieux pour moi que le [[sacre (France)|sacre]] de [[Reims]]&thinsp;!&thinsp;»}}</ref> The new regime then decided on 11 October that all people injured during the revolution (500 orphans, 500 widows and 3,850 people injured) would be given financial compensation and presented a draft law indemnifying them in the amount of 7 million francs, also creating a commemorative medal for the July Revolutionaries.

Ministers lost their [[style (manner of address)|honorifics]] of {{lang|fr|[[Monseigneur]]}} and {{lang|fr|[[Excellency|Excellence]]}} and became simply {{lang|fr|[[Monsieur]] le ministre}}. The new king's older son, {{lang|fr|[[Ferdinand-Philippe d'Orléans|Ferdinand-Philippe]]|italic=no}}, was given the title of [[Duke of Orléans]] and Prince Royal, while his daughters and his sister, {{lang|fr|[[Adélaïde d'Orléans]]|italic=no}}, were named princesses of Orléans – and not of France, since there was no longer any "King of France" nor "House of France".

Unpopular laws passed during the Restoration were repealed, including the 1816 amnesty law which had banished the [[regicide]]s – with the exception of article 4, concerning the [[House of Bonaparte|Bonaparte]] family. The Church of {{lang|fr|Sainte-Geneviève|italic=no}} was once again returned to its functions as a secular building, named the {{lang|fr|[[Panthéon]]}}. Various budget restrictions were imposed on the Catholic Church, while the 1825 [[Anti-Sacrilege Act]] which envisioned death penalties for sacrilege was repealed.
