1799 French Legislative Election
9–16 April 1799 · Revolution and Empire
Following the Coup of 11 May 1798 (22 Floréal year VI in the Republican calendar), the small Jacobin minority led by Generals Jean-Antoine Marbot and Jean-Baptiste Jourdan harassed the Directory, with the occasional support of directorial deputies exasperated by the encroachments of the executive.
Held in wartime. This election took place while the country was engaged in War of the Second Coalition (1798–1802). Conflicts →
