How did a directory rule in France? Explain
  • 1 answers

Gaurav Seth 5 years, 8 months ago

The wealthier middle classes seized power and formed a new constitution. It provided for two elected legislative councils. These then appointed a Directory, an executive made up of five members. This was meant as a safeguard against the concentration of power in a one-man executive as under the Jacobins.

The Directory or Directorate (French: le Directoire) was a five-member committee which governed France from 1795 when it replaced the Committee of Public Safety. On 9 November 1799, 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.
