Abstract	In 1358, the discord began to erupt between Dauphin Charles and the Parisian bourgeoisie and ended in a standoff, thus the North of the French Kingdom involved into civil war malaises.In Paris, the most influential chief inspector was Etienne Marcel, “the prevost of the merchants of Paris”, came from the most powerful merchant group - la Hansa des marchands de l'eau - consisting of the business elites, he played a leading part in the Estates-General for a period of 1355-1357. Against the background of the Hundred Years' War, the hope of the French people, especially the Parisians, for political reform, and the demand by Charles II of Navarre for the right of French throne succession, had deepened the distrust between the royal family and the Parisians; hence, rendered the internal political situation of France more turbulent. 　　From the standpoint of the enhancement of the parisian political power, this paper aims to observe the regime’s participation and anti-monarchical consciousness of the Parisian bourgeoisie, and explore the debates on Étienne Marcel’s part to the Parisian revolt of 1358.
