Commentary
Le Père Duchêne est un journal quotidien que l’on distribuait dans les rue à bas prix dans les commencements de la révolution. Il avait été imaginé par un certain Lemaire, employé des postes qui fut libraire. Cette feuille avait pour but de présenter sous des points de vue avantageux aux classes inférieures la nouvelle constitution et les changements utiles produits par la révolution (cf. Hennin).
Historical background
FRENCH CONSTITUTION - NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
(20/06/1789-21/09/1792
On June 17, 1789, the "States General" set themselves up as the "National Assembly". On June 20, the deputies of the Third Estate, as well as 149 representatives of the Clergy and 2 of the nobility, meet in the Salle du Jeu de Paume, in Versailles and swear not to separate until the Constitution is written. This is the famous "Oath of the tennis court". On July 9, this assembly became the "National Constituent Assembly". This assembly, which then had 1,200 deputies, sat first at Versailles and then at the Tuileries. From September 3 to 13, it votes the Constitution, which the King accepts. Its mission accomplished, it separated on September 30, 1791. It was immediately replaced by the Legislative Assembly..
