Commentary


Cet exemplaire a été attribué à Félix Faulcon pour l’an IV (1795-1796). De son nom complet, Marie-Félix Faulcon, chevalier de La Parisière, sieur de La Fenestre (1758-1843) est un juriste, homme de lettres, historien et homme politique français. Député aux États généraux de 1789 (jusqu’au 30 septembre 1791), il sera ensuite député de la Vienne (représentant du peuple) à partir du 15 octobre 1795 jusqu’au 1er juillet 1804.
Il y combattit un projet de remplacement des fonctionnaires par le Directoire, s'opposa à l'admission de sept membres présentés pour compléter le Corps législatif, demanda le rapport de l'article 19 de la loi du 30 vendémiaire, et vota contre le recours en cassation des jugements de la haute cour. En l'an V, il opina en faveur des projets de Daunou sur « la répression des abus de la presse », défendit la cause d'incompatibilité d'humeur pour le divorce, etc.

Le Conseil des Cinq-Cents, “chambre basse”, était l'une des deux Assemblées du Directoire. Composé de 500 députés comme son nom l'indique, le Conseil était élu au suffrage censitaire à deux tours, conformément à la Constitution de l'An III, chacun devait être âgé de plus de 30 ans et résidant depuis au moins dix ans sur le territoire national. Les citoyens de chaque canton, hommes majeurs de vingt et un ans, payant une contribution directe ou justifiant de services militaires actifs dans l'armée et résidant en France depuis au moins un an, se réunissaient en assemblées primaires afin de désigner un « grand électeur » pour 200 habitants. Le Conseil avait l'initiative des projets de Loi soumis ensuite au Conseil des Anciens, “chambre haute”. Ses députés dressaient la liste où le Conseil des Anciens devait choisir les Directeurs. Après les élections de l'An V, la majorité thermidorienne disparut. L'Assemblée fut renversée et dissoute par le Coup d'État de Bonaparte le 18 brumaire An 8 (9 novembre 1799).
This example was attributed to Félix Faulcon for the year IV (1795-1796). His full name, Marie-Félix Faulcon, Chevalier de La Parisière, Sieur de La Fenestre (1758-1843) was a French jurist, man of letters, historian and politician.. Deputy to the Estates General of 1789 (until September 30, 1791), he was then deputy of Vienne (representative of the people) from October 15, 1795 until July 1, 1804.
There he fought against a project to replace civil servants by the Directory, opposed the admission of seven members presented to complete the Legislative Body, requested the report of article 19 of the law of 30 Vendémiaire, and voted against the appeal for cassation of the judgments of the high court. In the year V, he supported Daunou's plans for \\\"the repression of press abuses\\\", defended the cause of incompatibility of temperament for divorce, etc..

The Council of Five Hundred, the “lower house,” was one of the two Assemblies of the Directory. Composed of 500 deputies as its name indicates, the Council was elected by census suffrage in two rounds, in accordance with the Constitution of Year III, each had to be over 30 years old and resident for at least ten years on the national territory. The citizens of each canton, men of legal age twenty-one, paying a direct contribution or having active military service in the army and residing in France for at least one year, met in primary assemblies to designate a \\\"grand elector\\\" for every 200 inhabitants.. The Council had the initiative for draft laws which were then submitted to the Council of Elders, the “upper house”.. His deputies drew up the list from which the Council of Elders was to choose the Directors.. After the elections of the Year V, the Thermidorian majority disappeared. The Assembly was overthrown and dissolved by Bonaparte's coup d'état on 18 Brumaire Year 8 (November 9, 1799)

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.
