Constitution of 1795
The Constitution of 1795 was established in France during the aftermath of the French Revolution. It created a new government structure known as the Directory, which consisted of five directors who held executive power. This constitution aimed to balance power and prevent the rise of a single ruler, promoting a more moderate approach compared to previous revolutionary governments.
The constitution also introduced a bicameral legislature, consisting of the Council of Five Hundred and the Council of Ancients. It allowed for a broader electorate, although voting rights were limited to property owners. The Constitution of 1795 ultimately faced challenges, leading to its eventual replacement in 1799.
