Question

What was the main impact of the Constitution of 1795?

Answer 1

Year (III) French Constitution established during the Thermidorian Reaction in the French Revolution was more conservative than the abortive democratic Constitution of 1793. The Constitution of 1795 established a liberal republic with a franchise based based on the payment taxes similar to that of the Constitution of 179; a bicameral legislature to slow down the legislative process; and a five man Directory. The central government retain a great power, incluiding emergency powers to curb freedom of the press and freedom of association.
