1.	How did the political system work in France under the Constitution of 1791?
Answer» On June 20th 1789, the newly formed National Assembly gathered in a Versailles tennis court and pledged not to disband until France had a working constitution. The deputies of the Third Estate believed that any reforms to the Ancient Régime must be outlined in and guaranteed by a written framework. A constitution would define the authority, structure and powers of the new government. This would prevent or limit the abuses and injustices of the old order. The National Assembly set about drafting a national constitution almost immediately. The process was a long and difficult one, hampered by differences of opinion, growing radicalism and the events of 1789-91.
