French Revolution Liberty, Equality, Fraternity Phase I Constitution of 1791

The Constitutional Monarchy Louis XVI + the Legislative Assembly The Legislative Assembly consists of elected members. Most members came from the wealthy business class or wealthy landowners. Few were nobles or clergymen. The Constitution stated that members would be elected according to the principle of limited male suffrage.  This means that only men with property could vote. Louis XVI had suspension veto power which meant that he could insist that legislation (laws) continue to be a topic of discussion but he had no power to cancel them or veto them himself.

Economic Policies Bread Prices remained high. The Legislative Assembly implemented laissez-faire economic principles.  Laissez-faire means free market or capitalist economics.   In laissez-faire systems the government does not control the economy or help poor people.  It allows people to work hard and earn their own money and employ other people to help them. Church lands were seized and sold off to whoever could afford them.  To help people pay for them, the government printed paper money called assignats.  Many peasants bought the land but eventually the assignats became worthles because the govt. printed too many of them. 

Religious Policies Church lands were confiscated. Church tithes (10% of a family's income) were abolished. Granted religious toleration to Jews and Protestants. Required the clergy to follow the state instead of the Catholic Church hierarchy by requiring them to take an oath to support the  CIVIL CONSTITUTION OF THE CLERGY. 1790 This turned the church of France into a national church controlled by the state instead of by the pope in Rome. Clergymen were paid by the government. 50% signed it                        50% refused to sign it

Administrative Reforms To convince people in France that France was really a nation with a sense of pride and belonging, they reorganized the old provinces into  83 departments ruled by local assemblies replaced provincial tariffs to increase free trade made the taxes more organized and easier to understand.

Who was happy and who was sad? Place the following groups into a happy and sad chart.  Which people were feeling pleased with the changes brought about by the National Assembly and the Constitution of 1791 and who was now angry? Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette nobles clergy Peasants Bourgeoisie (wealthy business class) sans culottes (poor urban workers) Jews Protestants Catholic people women Austria and Prussia (other monarchies in Europe)
