The new government of the Second Republic…

1840 CE to 1851 CE

The new government of the Second Republic ends Algeria's status as a colony shortly after Louis Philippe's constitutional monarchy is overthrown in the revolution of 1848, and declares the occupied lands an integral part of France.

Three "civil territories"—Algiers, Oran, and Constantine—are organized as French departements (local administrative units) under a civilian government.

For the first time, French citizens in the civil territories elect their own councils and mayors; Muslims have to be appointed, can not hold more than one-third of council seats, and cannot serve as mayors or assistant mayors.

The administration of territories outside the zones settled by colons remained under a regime du sabre.

Local Muslim administration is allowed to continue under the supervision of French military commanders, charged with maintaining order in newly pacified regions, and the bureaux arabes.

Theoretically, these areas are closed to European colonization.
