Episode 15: The French Constitution of 1793, Can it Compete?
Manage episode 430791784 series 3588770
In this episode, we bring you an investigation into lawyers and politicians behaving badly – our “Special Report on Pettiness and the Law.”
We’ll also continue our series on the founding of America and the French Revolution by doing our best to describe the proposed French constitution of 1793 (which never went into effect because everyone basically shrugged and said “we don’t feel like it”) and what happened after that (spoiler alert: it’s called “The Reign of Terror”).
