How do you explain the fact that during the years of the revolution in France several constitutions were adopted? What tendencies in the development of the revolution did they reflect?
The tendencies of changes in the Basic Law very much depended on the social stratum of the population coming to power and its needs. Initially, at the first stage of the Great French Revolution, mainly representatives of the bourgeoisie came to power. For them, it was urgently necessary that the manifestations of monarchism were limited, therefore the direction of the Constitution was appropriate. Subsequently, radical elements from the common people came to power, which made it possible to introduce provisions on the expansion of rights and freedoms into the Constitution. Later, the Constitution again became more bourgeois, and later completely lost its weight in the empire of Napoleon.
