- The fall of the Jacobin government allowed the wealthier middle classes to seize power.
- A new constitution was introduced which denied the vote to non-propertied sections of society.
- It provided for two elected legislative councils.
- These then appointed a Directory, an executive made up of five members.
- This was meant as a safeguard against the concentration of power in a one-man executive as under the Jacobins.
- However, the Directors often clashed with the legislative councils, who then sought to dismiss them.
