| Summary: | The National Archives played a key role in the history of law under the Revolution and the Empire. The institution created by the Revolution was charged with the preservation of the minutes book of the Constituent Assembly that would constitute the C serie. At first, the statutes were nothing more than « extracts from the minutes book ». They were to be gathered into the A serie. It is therefore possible to break down the different steps of the making of the revolutionary law. There is a need to consider the forms in used to produce authentic law (the formulas that sanctioned them, the seal used to promulgate them). The institutional circuit followed by the text of the law that was adopted by the assembly and described here is largely unknown. Its description reveals new instruments of research such as the registers set up by the archivist Armand-Gaston Camus (1740-1804). It also raises new questions, such as the title of laws or the rivalries between the assembly and executive power in so far as the sending of laws is concerned. |
