Text of the page (random words):
uté de la noblesse for the bailliage of melun who was to become a member of the national constituent assembly 5 in 1790 vaublanc became a member and later president of the conseil général of seine et marne this gave him the right to preside over the administrative directory of this département 6 losing ground to the jacobins under the legislative assembly 1791 edit after the dissolution of the constituent assembly the electoral colleges reconvened to elect new deputies vaublanc was elected president of that of seine et marne on 1 september 1791 he was elected deputy of seine et marne at the legislative assembly the eighth out of eleven by 273 votes out of 345 7 he was one of the few to have any political experience notably on the question of the antilles in an assembly composed essentially of political novices faithful to their promises not one former member of the constituent assembly had been admitted a leader of the club des feuillants 1791 1792 edit from this point on he took the name of viénot vaublanc which he retained until the end of the first empire in 1814 from the very moment of his appearance he made himself conspicuous by delivering a speech which denounced the humiliating terms on which louis xvi was to be received by the assembly the next day 8 9 as a result of these statements he was elected president from 15 november to 28 november 1791 by the assembly the majority of whom were royalist 10 louis xvi on 29 november vaublanc was assigned the task of composing a message to the king asking him to withdraw his veto of the decree of 9 november a decree designed to slow the massive emigrations then encouraged by the priests and the nobility by threatening reprisals against german princes who continued to offer refuge to the armies of french noblemen such as those of the comte d artois and of the prince of condé the assembly was so pleased with his work that they asked him to read it to the king personally louis xvi replied that he would take the request into serious consideration and several days later personally announced his decision on the matter on this occasion vaublanc made a name for himself by informing the assembly that the king had made the first bow and he had only returned the gesture 11 the anecdote reveals the shift in constitutional forces the legislative power embodied in the legislative assembly was clearly ascendant over the executive embodied in louis xvi who was now no more than the king of the french or roi des français vaublanc now sided with the constitutional monarchists and joined the amis de la constitution dubbed the club des feuillants with 263 other colleagues out of the 745 deputies he became one of its principal figures along with jacques claude beugnot mathieu dumas and jaucourt after the departure of barnave and c lameth he vigorously opposed revolutionary governments and was characterised by his loyalty to the king his opposition to repressive measures against rebellious priests and to laws confiscating the goods of émigrés and his denunciation of the massacres at avignon debate became steadily more extreme the crowds attending these debates often shouted at him as they did at charles de lacretelle à la lanterne 12 nicolas de condorcet his hostile colleague in the legislative assembly in 1791 said of him there are at all meetings these noisy air headed orators who produce a great effect through the constant repetition of redundant inanities 13 brissot one of the chief girondists in the legislative assembly nicknamed him le chef des bicaméristes 14 the fall of the monarchy 1792 edit in 1792 he defended the comte de rochambeau before the assembly and obtained his acquittal following the majority of the assembly who sought to abolish slavery in the antilles he nevertheless took aim in a speech of 20 march at those hardline abolitionists like brissot who knew little of life in the colonies and of the risks of civil war given the diversity of ethnicities and social conflicts in saint domingue he supported the law of 4 april 1792 which granted citizenship to all coloured men and free negroes at the meeting of 10 april he declared himself in favour of the progressive abolition of the slave trade throughout the colonies following the examples of denmark and great britain on 3 may 1792 he supported the proposition of beugnot which provoked an
