Résumé :

The Constituent Assembly is the major political body of the first part of the Revolution. It lasted from the 17 June 1789 to the 30 September 1791. The Third Estate first uses the term "Constituent Assembly" after the Tennis Court Oath, in order to replace the term "Estates General", whose mission was only to reform the fiscal system. A constitutional comity is created the 7 July, and the Constituent Assembly is definitively accepted the 9 July, after a vote of the deputies on a programme proposed by Mounier.
If its first mission is to establish a written Constitution, it also holds the legislative power: that's why, it decides fundamental and huge reforms for the country, in nearly every domain of political and/or religious life.

The Constituent Assembly reforms the administration, the justice the economy and even some social aspects of the country.
The 26 February 1790 decrees generate uniformity, decentralisation and independence for local organizations throughout the kingdom. 83 departments, subdivided into districts and cantons, are created. The administration of the department is provided by a local council, whose members are elected for two years, and chosen among the citizens able to elect deputies (according to their wages). The districts are administrated by representatives, also elected for two years. The General Council of the Commune, essentially composed of notables, is responsible of the administration of towns. Petty bourgeoisie is preponderant at all scales.
