Question

what are the three main features of french new constitution?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

The constitution that came to be drafted in 1791 had the following features:

• The Constitution vested the power of making laws in the National Assembly.
• The members of the National Assembly were indirectly elected; the citizens voted for a group of electors, who in turn chose the Assembly.
• Only men above 25 years of age who paid taxes equal to at least 3 days of a labourer’s wage were given the status of active citizens and were allowed to vote.
