Answer
The July Ordinances comprised the disbandment of the Chamber of Deputies, limiting suffrage to the wealthy, and restoring censorship of the press. These measures effectively stripped power from the lower and middle classes and concentrated it in the hands of King Charles X and his ultra-royalist supporters, precipitating the July Revolution of 1830.
