In this essay, Marx examines how the class struggle in France led to the circumstances that enabled Louis Bonaparte to seize power. He discusses the role of the individual in history, noting that 'Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past.'
