30 sept. 1791 - Dissolution of the National Assembly

Description:

The long awaited constitution finally came into effect on September 30, 1791. France was announced a constitutional monarchy, while the National Assembly was stopped and replaced by a new political body named the Legislative Assembly. No member of the National Assembly was elected to the new legislative body as it was agreed earlier that the members of the National Assembly would not be allowed to hold a seat in the new government. The result was the loss of everyone with valuable political experience. The Legislative Assembly was composed of various political factions, ranging from moderate royalists to radical republicans.
