This is my second time posting this question since I didn’t get any responses the first time. Hope that’s okay.

My question is, why did Andorra switch to viewing the leader of France as their co-prince after the monarchy fell. Why didn’t they continue seeing the monarch as their co-prince or proclaim the bishop of Urgell as the sole sovereign? From what I can tell, through all the changes in government France went through, Andorra just followed who ever the new leader was. Why?

Subquestion; how did people and the government of Andorra react to the various changes in government France went through?
