What was the new law-making body created by the 1791 constitution passed by the National Assembly?

• A. Legislative Assembly
• B. National Assembly
• C. Estates-General
• D. Directory

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing what the 1791 constitution did: it set up a separate law‑making body called the Legislative Assembly. After the National Assembly drafted and adopted the constitution, power to make laws moved to this new body, which was elected under the constitutional framework. The Legislative Assembly debated and passed laws, while the king’s powers were limited, marking a shift from royal authority to a constitutional arrangement. The Estates-General had not functioned as the daily law‑making body for a long time, and the Directory came later after further upheaval. So the new law‑making body created by the 1791 constitution was the Legislative Assembly.
