Legislative Assembly of France

The Legislative Assembly of France was the lower house of the French Parliament during the late 18th century, particularly during the French Revolution (1789-1791). Comprising elected representatives, it was responsible for debating and passing laws, and served as a key organ in establishing revolutionary reforms. It operated under a limited constitutional framework, replacing older royal institutions, and played a crucial role in shaping France’s transition from monarchy to a constitutional state. It was ultimately replaced by the National Convention in 1792, marking a shift toward more radical revolutionary governance.
