Answer 2

France became a constitutional monarchy after the National Assembly completed the draft of the constitution in 1791 with the objective of reducing the powers of the monarch. Powers were separated and assigned to different institutions like the legislature, executive and judiciary. The power to make laws was vested with the indirectly elected National Assembly. A group of electors, who were voted by the citizens, chose the assembly.
