The French Revolution — Social Studies STD 9 — Question

After the introduction of a new French Constitution, the councils appointed a Directory, an executive team made up of five members. They did this to ensure that the power did not come under a one$-$man executive as under the Jacobians. However, the Directors often clashed with the legislative councils. So, legislative councils asked to dismiss the directors. The political instability of the Directory led to the rise of a military dictator, Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon finally captured power and declared himself the Emperor of France.
