Cet exemplaire a été décerné à Anthelme Marin (1756-1825). Ce dernier fut représentant du peuple pour le département du Mont-Blanc sous la convention nationale, du 1er février 1793 au 26 octobre 1795, puis représentation pour le conseil des Cinq-cents, toujours pour le département du Mont-Blanc, du 14 octobre 1795 au 20 mai 1798. Il reçut cette médaille au cours de ce second mandat.
Anthelme Marin, docteur en droit de Turin, est inscrit au barreau de Chambéry en 1782, syndic-avocat en 1789, substitut de l’avocat général en 1790. Professeur de législation et belles lettres à l’Ecole centrale du Mont-Blanc en 1798, supprimée en 1803, il est alors nommé juge au tribunal de la Meurthe, puis redeviendra avocat à Chambéry.
Il était orateur de la Loge maçonnique des trois mortiers de Chambéry.

Historical background


DIRECTOIRE

(26/10/1795-9-10/11/1799)

When the Convention separated on October 25, 1795, a new executive power provided for by the Thermidorian constitution was put in place.. This constitution plans to entrust power to a board of five members, each of whom presides in turn, with the replacement of one member every two years.. This board appoints ministers and civil servants, directs foreign policy and enforces laws, but it does not draft them and has no control over public funds.. Power is shared with two chambers: the Council of Five Hundred and the Council of Elders which form the Legislative Body.. This power is determined to maintain itself in the face of the risk of a monarchical restoration or a Jacobin reaction, but it is above all paralyzed by the financial crisis and must give up the assignat in 1796.. The replacement of the assignats by the territorial mandates does not inspire more confidence and this new fiduciary coin is abolished in 1797. Faced with misery and attempts at destabilization, the Directory, accused of being a "bourgeois republic", returned to revolutionary and police measures. Moreover, since 1792, the war has been uninterrupted and the influence of military leaders is growing.. In 1799, the supporters of a strong power, including Sieyès, found themselves in the Directory and they opened the way to power for Bonaparte, back from Egypt.. The coup of 18 and 19 brumaire year VIII allows the establishment of a military dictatorship under the name of Consulate.
