Cet exemplaire a été attribué à Etienne-Joseph Ferroux, conventionnel du Jura. Né le 25 avril 1751, mort le 12 mai 1834, il est membre de la Convention par le Jura puis député au Conseil des Anciens.
Ami des Girondins, il signa les protestations contre la journée du 31 mai, fut compris dans les arrestations provoquées par la Montagne et resta détenu au Luxembourg jusqu'au 8 décembre 1794, époque de sa rentrée à la Convention. Élu, le 21 vendémiaire an IV, député du Jura au Conseil des Anciens, il continua d'opiner avec les modérés, fit rapporter un décret rendu par la Convention contre les administrateurs de Longwy, pour avoir, en 1792, rendu cette ville aux Prussiens, et, le 18 août 1796, devint secrétaire du Conseil.

Historical background
DIRECTOIRE
(26/10/1795-9-10/11/1799)
When the Convention separated on October 25, 1795, a new executive power provided for by the Thermidorian constitution was put in place.. This constitution plans to entrust power to a board of five members, each of whom presides in turn, with the replacement of one member every two years.. This board appoints ministers and civil servants, directs foreign policy and enforces laws, but it does not draft them and has no control over public funds.. Power is shared with two chambers: the Council of Five Hundred and the Council of Elders which form the Legislative Body.. This power is determined to maintain itself in the face of the risk of a monarchical restoration or a Jacobin reaction, but it is above all paralyzed by the financial crisis and must give up the assignat in 1796.. The replacement of the assignats by the territorial mandates does not inspire more confidence and this new fiduciary coin is abolished in 1797. Faced with misery and attempts at destabilization, the Directory, accused of being a "bourgeois republic", returned to revolutionary and police measures. Moreover, since 1792, the war has been uninterrupted and the influence of military leaders is growing.. In 1799, the supporters of a strong power, including Sieyès, found themselves in the Directory and they opened the way to power for Bonaparte, back from Egypt.. The coup of 18 and 19 brumaire year VIII allows the establishment of a military dictatorship under the name of Consulate.
