Question

what is the convention assembly? What were the changes introduced by the convention assembly?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

he National Convention (French: Convention nationale) was the first government 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).

The Convention came about when the Legislative Assembly decreed the provisional suspension of King Louis XVI and the convocation of a National Convention to draw up a new constitution with no monarchy. The other major innovation was to decree that deputies to that Convention should be elected by all Frenchmen twenty-five years old or more, domiciled for a year and living by the product of their labor. The National Convention was, therefore, the first French assembly elected by a suffrage without distinctions of class.

Although the Convention lasted until 1795, power was effectively stripped from the elected deputies and concentrated in the small Committee of Public Safety from April 1793. The eight months from the fall of 1793 to the spring of 1794, when Maximilien Robespierre and his allies dominated the Committee of Public Safety, represent the most radical and bloodiest phase of the French Revolution, known as the Reign of Terror. After the fall of Robespierre, the Convention lasted for another year until a new constitution was written, ushering in the French Directory.

Answer 2

The National Convention was the first government of the French Revolution

Explanation:

• Established after the great uprising of 10 Aug. 1792, it was the first French government to abandon Monarchy, and be organized as a republic.
• The Convention came about after the Legislative Assembly decreed that King Louis XVI be provisionally revoked, and that a national Convention be called to write a new Constitution without any monarchy.
• Another major innovation was to decree that all Frenchmen 25 years or older, who are residents for one year and live by the products of their labour, should elect deputies to the Convention. Therefore, the National Convention was the 1st French assembly that was "elected by a suffrage" without class distinctions.
