France became a constitutional monarchy after the National Assembly completed the draft of the constitution in 1791 with the objective of reducing the powers of the monarch. Some changes are as follows:
Powers were separated and assigned to different institutions like the legislature, executive and judiciary.
The power to make laws was vested with the indirectly elected National Assembly.
A group of electors, who were voted by the citizens, chose the assembly.
Men who paid taxes equivalent to 3 days of labor’s wage was entitled to participate in the election process.
However, one demerit of the process was that women were not allowed to participate in the voting.
