Constitution of 1795 (Year III)
- Constitution of 1795 (Year III)
-
Known as the Constitution of Year III in the
French republican calendar, it was prepared by the Thermidorian Convention. It was more conservative than the abortive democratic Constitution of 1793. The Constitution of 1795 established a liberal republic with a franchise based on the payment of taxes, similar to that of the
Constitution of 1791; a bicameral legislature to slow down the legislative process; and a five-man
Directory. The central government retained great power, including emergency powers to curb freedom of the press and freedom of association.
