Q5. What rights were given by the government to French people in the "French monarchy"
Answers
Answer:
The National Convention (French: Convention nationale) was a parliament of the French Revolution, following the two-year National Constituent Assembly and the one-year Legislative Assembly. Created after the great insurrection of 10 August 1792, it was the first French government organized as a republic, abandoning the monarchy altogether. The Convention sat as a single-chamber assembly from 20 September 1792 to 26 October 1795 (4 Brumaire IV under the Convention's adopted calendar).
A lot of the credit for the rise of European nationalism goes to the French Revolution of 1789. The immediate result of the Revolution was the establishment of a 'republic' in place of the existing monarchy. A republic is a state in which power is held by the people and their elected representatives, instead of a King or Emperor.
The second idea that emerged was that of 'sovereignty'. This meant that the nation recognized no power higher than its laws.
Even when Napoleon became the Emperor, he called himself the 'Emperor of the French Republic'. This was because the idea of people's sovereignty remained extremely important.
