I find Bonapartism more interesting because it was one of the first political movements that combined elements of the right and the left. Initially, Napoleon was close to the Jacobins, but after the Thermidorian Reaction, he became closer to the Girondins and the upper bourgeoisie, demonstrating political pragmatism.

>LEGITIMISTS: Hardcore Monarchists and Catholic zealots that refuse any compromise with the revolutionaries, bourgeois or proletarian

>FEUILLANTS: Constitutional Monarchists that tried to toe a middle line, Lafayette's faction

>GIRONDINS: Free market liberals, like the American revolutionaries, that were originally part of the Jacobin Club. Sat to the left of the constitutional monarchists but to the right of the Montangnards that stayed in the Jacobin club

>THE PLAIN: Moderates that ranged from moderate Girondin to moderate Montangnard type views. Were generally more wary of the Terror and the control of the state by the Jacobin Club/Commune

>MONTANGNARDS/TERRORISTS: The main hardcore Jacobin institutionalist party, the Montangards were represented by Robespierre and St. Just. They led the revolution from 1793-1794. They infamously suppressed their opposition through mass executions and desecrated churches, while also pushing for more rights for the poor while also repealing civil rights
