Editing Legislative Assembly (France) (section)

== History ==
=== Background ===
The National Constituent Assembly dissolved itself on 30 September 1791. Upon [[Maximilien Robespierre]]'s [[Self-denying Ordinance (French Revolution)|motion]], it decreed that none of its members would be eligible for the next legislature. Its successor body, the Legislative Assembly, operating over the [[Liberalism|liberal]] [[French Constitution of 1791]], lasted until 20 September 1792 when the [[National Convention]] was established after the [[10 August (French Revolution)|insurrection of 10 August]] just the month before.

The Legislative Assembly entrenched the perceived [[left–right political spectrum]] that is still commonly used today. There were 745 members.
