Which measures were passed by the National Assembly in its first year of existence from 1789 to 1790?
Answer (2)
During the French Revolution, the National Assembly existed from June 17 to July 9, 1789. Initially, the Assembly announced (and for the most part probably believed) itself to be operating in the interests of King Louis XVI as well as those of the people. In theory, royal authority still prevailed and new laws continued to require the king's consent.
From 1789 to 1790, the National Assembly in France passed important measures, including the Tennis Court Oath and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. They abolished feudal privileges and enacted the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, which restructured the Catholic Church's relationship with the state. These actions aimed at establishing social equality and limiting the monarchy's power.
