1795 Constitution of French Republic 1st + 1788 Estates-General Memoirs | 2 in 1

1795 Constitution of French Republic 1^st + 1788 Estates-General Memoirs | 2 in 1

A rare 1795 printing of the Constitution of the Republic of France taken from the National Convention.

This constitution sought to allow a subtle continuation of the French Revolution, pushing for more individual property rights and equality guarantees. It was notable for limiting how much power any one person or government entity could have, as well as preventing the formation of political parties and divisions.

This Toulouse printing of the Constitution was published along with a printing of the “Memoirs of the Estates-General” – a pre-Revolution treatise on the political and financial crisis in 1788 France, discussing the roles of clergy, nobles, and the general public in the crisis.
