The U.S. had two constitutions/government after the revolution,the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution. How many has France had by the end of the section? Which country do you think was more stable after their revolutions,France or the United States?
For the first question I think France ended up having 2 or 3?? And for the second one I think the United States was more stable after their revolution?? Are those answers right?
France had the emperor Napoleon shortly after their revolution.
I have no idea where your section ends or how many governments France had in your section.
Ok thank you and can you help me with this other question....it's
Why is it fair to say France was more "revolutionary" under Robespierre than America was under George Washington?
To answer your first question, yes, France had multiple constitutions or forms of government after their revolution. The number can vary depending on how we define the different constitutions. Here is a brief overview:
1. The French Revolution began in 1789, leading to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of the First French Republic. This marked a significant change in the French government.
2. In 1791, France adopted its first written constitution, known as the Constitution of 1791. It created a limited constitutional monarchy, with a legislative assembly and a king with limited powers.
3. In 1793, the monarchy was abolished, and the First French Republic adopted a new constitution, known as the Constitution of 1793 or the Jacobin Constitution. This constitution was more radical and created a democratic republic, but it faced opposition and was never fully implemented.
4. In 1795, another constitution, known as the Constitution of Year III, was established under the Directory. This constitution aimed to create a more stable government but still faced challenges and was eventually overthrown in 1799.
5. In 1799, the French government shifted once again with the establishment of the Consulate and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. Though not strictly a constitution, this marked a significant change in the political system of France.
So, depending on how we count, France had at least four different constitutions or forms of government during this period. The political landscape in France was tumultuous and characterized by frequent changes in government.
Regarding your second question, it is subjective to determine which country was more stable after their revolutions—France or the United States. Generally, many historians argue that the United States was comparatively more stable. The U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1788, established a stable framework for government, separated powers, and provided a system of checks and balances. Despite challenges and debates, the U.S. government has operated under the same constitution for over two centuries.
In contrast, France experienced much more political instability with multiple changes in government over a relatively short period after their revolution. The conflicts and power struggles in France led to frequent changes in the ruling factions and the forming of different constitutions. Additionally, France experienced periods of radicalism, multiple coups, and the rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte.
However, stability is a complex concept and can be interpreted in different ways. It is important to consider various factors such as the longevity of the government, the effectiveness of institutions, social cohesion, and the overall ability to maintain peace and order.
