French Constitution of 1793

The Constitution of 1793, Constitution of 24 June 1793 (French: "Acte constitutionnel du 24 juin 1793"), or Montagnard Constitution (French: "Constitution montagnarde") was a national constitution of France ratified by the National Convention on June 24, 1793 during the French Revolution, but never applied, due to the suspension of all ordinary legality October 10, 1793. It was eventually supplanted by the French Constitution of 1795, which established the Directory.

The revolutionaries of 1848 were inspired by this constitution and that it passed into the ideological armory of the Third Republic (founded 1870). It represents a fundamental historical document, that contributed much to the later democratic institutions and developments.
