SEE PHOTO(s) - COMPLETE ORIGINALNEWSPAPER,theJ Russell\'s Gazette(Boston, MA)datedMarch 24, 1800. This original newspaper contains an inside page headline and a printing of the New Constitution of the French Republic (Dec, 1799) that gave power to NAPOLEON BONAPARTEto become the FIRST CONSUL.
The 1799 constitution, known as the Constitution of the Year VIII, was adopted on December 24, 1799. It established the Consulate and placed Napoleon Bonaparte in power as First Consul, effectively ending the French Revolution and setting up a dictatorship disguised as a republic.
Government Structure
- The Executive: Vested in three consuls, but absolute power belonged to Napoleon as the First Consul for a ten-year term.
- Council of State: Drafted the laws.
- The Tribunate: Debated the laws but could not vote on them.
- Legislative Body: Voted on the laws without debating them.
- Conservative Senate: Vetted the laws and picked members for the other legislative bodies.
Key Features
- No Bill of Rights: It was the first post-revolutionary French constitution that did not include a Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.
- Universal Male Suffrage (Nominal): Allowed all men over 21 to vote, but they only voted on \"elist lists\" rather than directly for candidates or laws.
- Public Approval: Tailor-made by and for Napoleon, it was rushed into effect and later overwhelmingly confirmed by a rigged plebiscite.
