Commentary
Exemplaire non décerné.
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).
Unawarded example. The Council of Five Hundred, the “lower house,” was one of the two Assemblies of the Directory. Composed of 500 deputies, as its name suggests, the Council was elected by census suffrage in two rounds, in accordance with the Constitution of the Year III. Each had to be over 30 years old and have resided in the national territory for at least ten years. The citizens of each canton, men over twenty-one years of age, paying a direct tax or having active military service in the army and residing in France for at least one year, met in primary assemblies to designate a “great 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.” Its deputies drew up the list from which the Council of Elders would 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.
