What was a ‘Directory’? Why was it removed from France?
Answer:
After the fall of Jacobins, a new Constitution was formed which denied the right to vote to non- propertied men. It provided two elected legislative Councils, who appointed a Directory, an executive made up of five members. However, the directors often clashed with the legislative councils and were finally dismissed. With this, political instability emerged in France which gave rise to a military dictator, Napoleon Bonaparte.
