Editing Legislative Assembly


{{Stub}}

The '''Legislative Assembly''' was the legislature of France from 1 October 1791 to 20 September 1792 during the years of the [[French Revolution]]. It provided the focus of political debate and revolutionary law-making between the periods of the [[National Assembly|National Constituent Assembly]] and of the [[National Convention]].

The Assembly was formed following Maximilien Robespierre's motion to bar members of the previous legislative body to hold a seat in its successor and during a military crisis in which France's neighbors had threatened invasion.

During its existence, the Assembly contained 745 members from all sides of the political spectrum, including 136 [[Jacobins]]. It passed a number of reforms in regards to divorce, immigration, and clergy. In 1792, due to escalating military tensions, the Assembly stripped [[Louis XVI of France|Louis XVI]] of royal functions, backed further by the [[:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurrection_of_10_August_1792|Insurrection of 10 August]] and the formation of the National Convention that created a new republic in which much of the Assembly retained power.
