This comprehensive book delves into the intricate details of the creation and trajectory of the French Constitution of 1795, which operated from the inception of the Directory to the reign of Napoleon in 1799. It offers a profound exploration of the composition, historical context, and eventual replacement of the third Constitution of the French Revolution through a close examination of the speeches and writings of four distinct political voices that emerged in late 1790s France. The four main chapters present these voices as Thermidorians, Conservatives, Republicans, and Brumairiens, each representing a different perspective and set of ideals. Through their narratives, the book sheds light on the intense and wide-ranging debates that emerged as a result of the perpetual tension between the Constitution and the numerous ongoing conflicts of the Revolution. These debates took place within the government and the two legislative chambers, encompassing a range of critical issues central to the French Revolution. They include the composition and functions of public powers, the legitimacy of exceptional laws, the regulation of the press and freedom of religion. By maintaining a sustained focus on the relationship between the political nation and the Constitution, this book offers a fresh and insightful interpretation of the political culture of the Directory era.
