The National Convention was a key legislative body during the French Revolution, coming into existence in September 1792 after the overthrow of the monarchy. It governed France during a turbulent period, including the Reign of Terror.
The year 1792 marks a significant turning point in the French Revolution with the establishment of the First French Republic by the National Convention.
The Tennis Court Oath took place in June 1789. The Napoleonic Code was promulgated in 1804, during Napoleon Bonaparte’s rule as Emperor, not during the initial phase of the Revolution in 1789. While France saw several constitutions during this period, 1804 is more associated with the First French Empire rather than a “New Constitution” in the context of the revolutionary phases typically discussed alongside events like the National Convention.
