CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY:REFORMING FRANCE 1789-92
INTRODUCTION: REFORM PROGRAMMES OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
The Assembly passed significant reforms which altered many of France's institutions. Many sections of society were politicized as the revolution took hold in the country. Changes to the way the Catholic Church was organized alienated many who had previously supported the reforms of the National Assembly. The changes were certainly not to everyone's liking, as the growth of a counter-revolution suggests.

Rise of the jacobins and the cordeliers and the beginning of a republican movement
INTRODUCTION: At the centre of all the events which were unfolding was the King. His distaste for what was happening within France and to his authority became evident during his attempt to flee the country known as the flight to Varennes. Whatever assurances he might give to the contrary, he was clearly ill at ease in the role of a constitutional monarch. His opponents for their part were uncomfortable with him, as the growth of Republicanism would indicate.
