Signed p. 56 by Chenier président; Dersey Solignac Bernier Laurenceat Dentzel Quirot sécrétaires. The French Convention Nationale 1792-1795 had governed without a constitution. That of 1791 had been replaced by a more radical one of 1793 which was never activated. "The post-Robespierrist Convention continuing the reaction against popular revolutionism. elements of direct democracy that had characterized the earlier constitution were abandoned but the new one preserved the basic changes brought by the Revolution" see R.R. Palmer Age of Democratic Revolution 2: 214. This edition seems to be unrecorded. It is signed by the members of the committee that drafted it chaired by playwright Marie-Joseph Chenier 1764-1811. The edition seems to be an attempt to persuade people to accept its terms. This Constitution was rejected by even more reactionary elements and led to establishment of the Directorate in October 1795. Not in NUC; not in Martin & Walter cf. 4: 2: 4140.
