From the very beginning, the French revolutionariesintroduced various measures and practices thatcould create a sense of collective identity amongstthe French people. The ideas of la patrie (thefatherland) and le citoyen (the citizen) emphasisedthe notion of a united community enjoying equal rights under aconstitution. A new French flag, the tricolour, was chosen to replacethe former royal standard. The Estates General was elected by thebody of active citizens and renamed the National Assembly. Newhymns were composed, oaths taken and martyrs commemorated,all in the name of the nation. A centralised administrative systemwas put in place and it formulated uniform laws for all citizenswithin its territory. Internal customs duties and dues were abolishedand a uniform system of weights and measures was adopted.Regional dialects were discouraged and French, as it was spokenand written in Paris, became the common language of the nation.
