Which governmental body did napoleon bonaparte overthrow in 1794 after robespierre's execution? a. national assembly b. third estate c. the directory d. national convention

The correct answer is:

C. The Directory

The Directory was a five-member committee which governed France from 2 November 1795 to November of 1799, when Napoleon Bonapart overthrowed it in the Coup of 18 Brumaire, and replaced by the French Consulate.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
