Also known as La Force protégeant le travail and L'Ordre comprimant les pervers ou protégeant les nations, Force and Order were commissioned on December 18, 1854 as two of the five figures comprising the personifications of the duties of the State, the Government and the Citizen. Designed for the Cour du Carrousel of Napoléon III's New Louvre palace, the present models were placed on the façade of the Denon pavillion with War and Peace across the courtyard on the Richelieu pavillon façade.

Barbedienne edited the models in three sizes during Bayre's lifetime (1 meter, 50 cm. and 30cm.).
