জাতীয় তথা সংবিধান সভা
In June 1789, representatives of the third estate in France took an oath on the tennis court to create a new constitution. To achieve this goal, a National Constituent Assembly was formed on July 9, 1789. Key revolutionary leaders like Munier, Barnave, Charles Latham, Lafayette, and Mirabeau played a significant role in drafting the constitution. As a result, in 1791, France established a written constitution.
Before the actual drafting of the constitution, the National Constituent Assembly made two major decisions. On August 4, 1789, the assembly abolished the feudal system and privileges, proclaiming equality before the law and religious freedom. Additionally, the appointment of priests, forced labor, and religious taxation were also prohibited.
Subsequently, on August 26, 1789, the assembly declared the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, affirming the fundamental rights of the citizens. In February 1790, the assembly also decided to offer government jobs based on merit, ensuring that public service would be available to all citizens who met the qualifications, rather than based on noble birth. These actions were part of a welfare-driven movement, focused on creating a fair and just society.
