The more radical party, the <i>Jacobins, <\/i>sat on the left side of the assembly. Eventually, in the 18th century, the Left parties were those who supported the Revolution, and the Right parties supported the Monarchy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">To put things simple, the Left parties are considered to be more liberal, and the Right parties tend to be conservative. This concept is pretty consistent worldwide, and now you know where it stemmed from, particularly in France!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Jaur\u00e8s\u2019 Intellectual Beginnings<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_14971\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jean_jaures_jeune.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14971\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14971\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jean_jaures_jeune.jpg\" alt=\"Young Jean Jaur\u00e8s\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jean_jaures_jeune.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jean_jaures_jeune-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jean_jaures_jeune-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/jean_jaures_jeune-88x88.jpg 88w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14971\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Young Jean Jaur\u00e8s, 1875 &#8211; WikiCommons<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Jaur\u00e8s was born into a modest farming community in 1859. He showed promise early on as he was a very good student, gaining admission to one of the \u00c9cole Superiors in France. Think of these schools as the Ivy Leagues in France! Jaur\u00e8s studied philosophy. After passing exams to permit him to teach, Jaur\u00e8s went on to become a professor at the University of Toulouse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Jaur\u00e8s spearheaded the creation of the medical department at the University, and he began working on two theses for his doctorate. As someone working on their thesis for my masters degree, it\u2019s super impressive to me that Jaur\u00e8s was able to do two! <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Thanks to his work at the University of Toulouse, Jaur\u00e8s quickly became an influential historian of the French Revolution. He undertook the task of research at the National Library in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/paris-in-two-days\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Âé¶¹APP<\/a>, and wrote a theoretical marxist interpretation of the Revolution. As you can see, Jaur\u00e8s was an extremely intelligent and well versed person. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Jaur\u00e8s: a rising star of French politics<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Jaur\u00e8s developed into a Socialist in the late 1880s. After hearing of a workers strike against their unfair employers tactics, he went on a campaign to support their cause. With his support, the workers gained what they were asking for, and as a result, Jaur\u00e8s was elected as a socialist deputy in the department of Tarn on the National Assembly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Jaur\u00e8s was briefly removed from this position in 1898 when he failed to be reelected. This didn\u2019t stop him from continuing to be involved in politics, though. He was an editor at the newspaper <i>La Petite R\u00e9publique, <\/i>and was a major player along with author <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/10-things-you-should-know-about-emile-zola\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00c9mile Zola<\/a> in defending Alfred Dreyfus during the famous Dreyfus Affair. This affair was just one instance where politics in France were very divided between the Left and Right parties. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">In 1902, Jaur\u00e8s was reelected to his seat as socialist deputy of Tarn. It is then when a few different socialist parties merged to become the French Socialist Party, which Jaur\u00e8s was the leader of. Eventually, more parties merged to become the SFIO party, which Jaur\u00e8s was also the leader of.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14974\" style=\"width: 538px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/15112743341_c2026d1243_o.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14974\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14974\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/15112743341_c2026d1243_o.jpg\" alt=\"Jean Jaur\u00e8s in 1913\" width=\"528\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/15112743341_c2026d1243_o.jpg 528w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/15112743341_c2026d1243_o-300x227.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14974\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jean Jaur\u00e8s in 1913 by Paille &#8211; Flickr<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Jaur\u00e8s was instrumental in the passing of a bill which separated church and state in France.

During this time, Jaur\u00e8s became heavily involved in different workers movements throughout France, including one that concerned employees at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-fun-facts-about-french-wine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wineries<\/a> across the Languedoc region. Jaur\u00e8s worked to bring the workers together as a whole, rather than disputing against themselves.
