If you read up on the history of French revolution, they didn't particularly want a republic. They got a republic as the last resort... and they changed the country forever, even Emperor Napoleon didn't roll everything back.
They still wanted a lot of changes to allow more freedom, restrictions and more transparency... just not necessarily a formal republic.
Think about this - in CATO's own Human Freedom Index half of the top 16 countries are monarchies.
1 New Zealand - monarchy
2 Switzerland - republic
3 Hong Kong (definitely not going to be in #4 now)
4 Canada - monarchy
5 Australia - monarchy
6 Denmark - monarchy
6 Luxembourg - monarchy
8 Finland - republic
8 Germany - republic
10 Ireland - repulbic
11 Sweden - monarchy
11 Netherlands - monarchy
13 Austria - republic
14 United Kingdom - monarchy
15 Estonia - republic
15 United States - republic
