Stage 3
The Directory
November 1795-1799: The Directory
After Robespierre's execution in 1794, a new constitution was created called the Constitution of 1795. The new
constitution attempted to separate powers and limit the power of any one man. Through the constitution, they created
the Directory. The Directory was a five-member group that replaced the Committee for Public Safety. The Directory
functioned as the head of the government, but it was weak and poorly funded and struggled to enforce government
policies, often having to rely on the military to maintain order. The Directory also struggled with rampant corruption and
repeated coups d'état [attempts at overthrowing someone in power]. In addition to these internal problems, France was
still engaged in wars with neighboring European countries.
