After the fall of the Jacobin Government the new Constitution entrusted the executive power to a board of 5 members called the Directory.
Legislative authority was vested in 2 legislative councils elected by the propertied sections of French society.
There were constant clashes between the Directory and legislative councils resulting in political instability.
The Directors lacked popular support and could maintain their position only with the help of the army.
Political instability and dependence on the army culminated in the rise of military dictator Napoleon Bonaparte.

The rise of Napolean:
(i)In 1804, Napoleon Bonaparte crowned himself Emperor of France. He set out to conquer neighbouring European countries, dispossessing dynasties and creating kingdoms where he placed members of his family.
(ii)Napoleon saw his role as a moderniser of Europe. He introduced many laws such as the protection of private property and a uniform system of weights and measures provided by the decimal system.
(iii)Initially, many saw Napoleon as a liberator who would bring freedom for the people. But soon the Napoleonic armies came to be viewed everywhere as an invading force. He was finally defeated at Waterloo in 1815.
(iv)Many of his measures that carried the revolutionary ideas of liberty and modern laws to other parts of Europe had an impact on people long after Napoleon had left
