what was the reason behind the formation of directory? How did its relation with the elected body led to the rise of Napoleon .
Answers
Answer:
The Directory or Directorate (French: le Directoire) was a five-member committee that governed France from 2 November 1795, when it replaced the Committee of Public Safety, until 9 November 1799, when it was overthrown by Napoleon Bonaparte in the Coup of 18 Brumaire, and replaced by the French Consulate. It gave its name to the final four years of the French Revolution. On the other hand, according to the mainstream historiography - for example F. Furet and D. Richet in “French Revolution” (Macmillan, 1970) - with the aforementioned terms is indicated also the regime and the period from the dissolution of the National Convention of Tuileries Palace on 26 October 1795 (4 Brumaire), which was superseded by the two new elected Councils (Ancients and Five Hundred), and the coup d’état by Napoleon. Only in 1798 the Council of Five Hundred moved to the Palais Bourbon (Instead, since the inception, the five members of the Directory remained in the Luxembourg Palace).
