Read the quote delivered by the Consulate on November 12, 1799. People of France: Swear with us to be true to the Republic one and indivisible, founded on equality, liberty, and the representative system. What is the problem with this quote?
France was not founded on equality and liberty. This was uttered not by the Consuls, but only by Napoleon. A representative system wasn't created—a dictatorship was. The year the statement was made was 1789. A representative system wasn't created—a dictatorship was.
