12. AS History Matters www.pastmatters.org AS History Matters www.pastmatters.org The Revolutionary Republic During the French Revolution, the National Convention, comprised the constitutional and legislative assembly which sat from 20 September 1792 to 26 October 1795. It held executive power in France during the first years of the French First Republic. It was succeeded by the Directory, commencing 2 November 1795. Prominent members of the original Convention included Maximilien Robespierre of the Jacobin Club, Jean-Paul Marat (affiliated with the Jacobins, though never a formal member), and Georges Danton of the Cordeliers. From 1793 to 1794, executive power was de facto exercised by the Convention's Committee of Public Safety. France, like the rest of Europe, has never again used an elected constitutional convention to draft its constitutions, instead relying on the executive or legislative branches to draft successive constitutions before usually (but not always) submitting them to the electorate for approval in referendums. Read it all carefully. For your paragraph write a three-word summary.
