the law was to be the expression of the general will
what did "all " actually mean?
who should actually participate?
what should the role of the be?
the king had originally called the Estates General together to advise him
a few months later he is expected to behave as a constitutional monarchy
various sections of the population are
women
men who don't own sufficient on which a certain level of taxes is paid
distinction between active and passive citizens
active citizens were about 60% of adult men
Louis XVI will be given a veto
a veto by which a law is merely suspended until reconsidered by the legislature and becomes a law if by an ordinary majority

this property was called "biens nationaux"

Ideas and Concepts:
From the 18th century demotions department, via tonight's History of the French Revolution class: "Louis XVI had called the Estates General together to advise him on dealing with the fiscal crisis, and in a few months, by a surprise turn of events, the National Assembly was in power. Nevertheless, the original financial crisis had not gone away, and so they subsequently seized church property ("biens nationaux"), selling 6% off at auction to use as backing for a new revolutionary currency called the Assignat. Notice this bill has a picture of Louis XVI on it with his new title "King of the French", i.e. no longer Louis the XVI "King of France" by the grace of God, an enormous gulf for one man to cross in his understanding of his own role."
