The main object of the Constitution of 1791 was to limit the powers of the monarch. The powers were now separated and assigned to different institutions- the legislature, executive and judiciary. This made France a constitutional monarchy. The Constitution of 1791 vested the power to make laws in the National Assembly, which was indirectly elected. The citizens voted for a group of electors, who in turn chose the Assembly. The Constitution began with a Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen.
