Measures that were taken by the National Convention to secure a new government for France?

Answer 1

The national convention did pass many helpful reforms. French laws were organized into a code, a national system of public education was set up, slavery was abolished in French colonies, and the metric system of weights and measurements was adopted. Many of these were never put into full effect because of the collapse of the revolution. Yet, even these could not help the unpopularity of the Convention after the Reign of Terror. Another uprising occurred in Paris in 1795. This one, however was quickly smothered by French soldiers led by a young, brilliant officer by the name of Napoleon Bonaparte. This action marked the beginning of his rapid rise to power. The national convention did pass many helpful reforms.
