Napoleon overthrew the revolutionary government called The Directory in the events of 18 Brumaire 1799. The Directory consisted of a 5 man 'Directorate' whom were the executive power. There was also the Council of the 500 and the Council of Ancients: checks and balances to ensure that no one party or political figure could gain supreme power. The Directory had ruled since 1795, wheh the Thermidorian Reaction had ended the Terror and the previous revolutionary government, known as the Convention. Napoleon could claim that he was the 'heir' of the Revolution, as he was the man that had the power to put the principles of Liberty, Equality and Property into practice, thus giving legitimacy to his Coup of Brumaire. Napoleon was not in fact the main instigator of the Coup; former Director Sieyes provided the main impotus and he needed military muscle to ensure things worked smoothly. Napoleon was not even the first choice of general, General Jourdan had been killed in action and General Moreau had recommended Napoloen over himself. Napoleon was deemed an acceptable candidate as Sieyes percieved that he had no political agenda, allowing Sieyes to implement his own reforms. This however, proved to be wrong, as Napoleon, demonstrating considerable political acumen, forced himself into the position of First Consul when the Constitution of Revolutionary Year VIII came into existence.
