Revolutionary Government Quiz

About this quiz

What you’ll practice

Power during the French Revolution moved fast—from assemblies to committees to executive councils—and this quiz helps you keep the institutions straight. You’ll review who held authority, why new bodies were created, and how constitutions tried (and often failed) to stabilize the regime.

Expect a mix of chronology, terminology, and document-based knowledge: constitutions of 1791, 1793, and 1795; the Convention and its committees; and the political pressures that shaped each phase.

Format and difficulty controls

Every question is multiple-choice with 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think through close choices. You can also choose your preferred question count and difficulty before starting—go shorter for quick revision or longer to build endurance across the full timeline.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Mixing up the National Assembly, Legislative Assembly, and National Convention
Confusing the Committee of Public Safety with the Committee of General Security
Misplacing key turning points (e.g., 10 August 1792, Thermidor, Brumaire)
Treating the 1793 Constitution as fully implemented rather than largely suspended
Overlooking how war and internal revolt reshaped constitutional plans

How the quiz stays balanced

Mixed difficulty means you’ll get accessible foundation checks (basic institutions, major dates) alongside tougher items (committee roles, constitutional provisions, factional context). Questions rotate across periods—1791 monarchy, Year II emergency government, and the Directory—so no single phase dominates your score.

Use missed questions as a map: if you’re strong on dates but weak on structures, focus on who appointed whom and what each committee actually did; if structures are easy, tighten your timeline around regime changes and constitutional milestones.
