Commentary

Cet essai “à la liberté Française” reprend le sujet de la médaille de Dupré pour l’avènement des États-Unis d’Amérique. L’effigie sera reprise sur les monnaies américaines pour la Libertas Americana. Cet exemplaire est incontestablement d’époque eu égard à son état de conservation.

Historical background

FRENCH CONSTITUTION - NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

(20/06/1789-21/09/1792

On June 17, 1789, the "States General" set themselves up as the "National Assembly". On June 20, the deputies of the Third Estate, as well as 149 representatives of the Clergy and 2 of the nobility, meet in the Salle du Jeu de Paume, in Versailles and swear not to separate until the Constitution is written. This is the famous "Oath of the tennis court". On July 9, this assembly became the "National Constituent Assembly". This assembly, which then had 1,200 deputies, sat first at Versailles and then at the Tuileries. From September 3 to 13, it votes the Constitution, which the King accepts. Its mission accomplished, it separated on September 30, 1791. It was immediately replaced by the Legislative Assembly..
