the National Convention
The National Convention was the governing body of France from the start of the revolution until the formation of the National Directory. They were originally made up of moderates, leftists, and rightists but that changed when Robespierre came into power. He led the reign of terror which removed most of the moderates and leftists from power and ended their lives. Following Robespierre's execution the Jacobins gained control of the National Convention and it became known as the Thermidorian Convention. It ruled very unwisely and is responsible for the great financial ruin that will later befall France during the reign of Napoleon. In 1794 they were replaced by the five man Directory, the Council of Ancients, and the Council of Five Hundred.
Under the reign of Louis XIV the government in France was an Absolute Monarchy.
It was in economic turmoil with a huge national debt and food shortages that were causing fear, panic and the possibility of genuine starvation.
