National Constituent Assembly (France)

The National Constituent Assembly of France was a legislative body formed in 1789 during the French Revolution, tasked with drafting a new constitution to replace the absolute monarchy. Comprising mainly elected representatives, it aimed to establish a more democratic government and address widespread social inequalities. The assembly played a key role in ending the king's reign, abolishing feudal privileges, and laying the foundation for France’s modern constitutional monarchy and republic. It marked a pivotal moment in French history, symbolizing the citizens’ effort to create a more equal and just political system.
