National Assembly (French Revolution)
Revolutionary assembly in France from June to July 1789 / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the French Revolution, the National Assembly (French: Assemblée nationale), which existed from 17 June 1789 to 9 July 1789,[1] was a revolutionary assembly of the Kingdom of France formed by the representatives of the Third Estate (commoners) of the Estates-General and eventually joined by some members of the First and Second Estates. Thereafter (until replaced by the Legislative Assembly on 30 September 1791), it became a legislative body known as the National Constituent Assembly (Assemblée nationale constituante), although the shorter form was favored.
Not to be confused with the National Assembly of France, the lower house of the Parliament of the French Fifth Republic.
