one more question....
Did the directory replace the National Convention
The term "The Directory" refers to a period of time and a form of government in French history, while "The National Convention" refers to another period and form of government that came before The Directory.
The National Convention was established following the French Revolution in 1792. It marked the end of the monarchy and the beginning of republican rule in France. The Convention was responsible for drafting the first French constitution and implementing policies such as the Committee of Public Safety, which carried out the Reign of Terror.
The Directory, on the other hand, was the government that succeeded the National Convention in 1795. It lasted from 1795 to 1799 and was a more conservative form of government compared to the radicalism of the Convention. The Directory was composed of a five-member executive called the Directory, along with a bicameral legislature.
So, to answer your question directly, no, the Directory did not replace the National Convention. The Directory followed the National Convention as the next form of government in France.
