Prescribed by the law of 22 December 1789, each department was called upon to form an assembly composed of 36 elected members, known as the Departmental Council. Although this body was abolished by the law of 14 Frimaire Year II (4 December 1793), it was re-established under the name of "Conseil General de Département" by the law of 28 Pluviôse Year VIII (17 February 1800), thus marking a significant step in the French administrative organization. Available exclusively at TheRedshop.
