Code Politique De La France, Ou Collection Des Décrets De L'Assemblée Nationale, Tome III (May 1790) records decrees and instructions issued by the French National Assembly during the early phase of the Revolution. The document collects chronologically organized rulings on the political reorganization of municipalities, notably Paris, the creation of a provisional municipal structure, and the regulation of national lands known as domaines nationaux. It also covers fiscal matters, taxation, and the management of grain markets, as well as police and military arrangements and the relation between departments and districts. The volume reveals the Assembly's aims to rationalize state authority, centralize power, and codify constitutional norms across the kingdom, including procedures for execution, electoral rolls, and the issuance of assignats. It offers insight into the finances and reform strategies of the revolutionary government and its attempts to balance urgent needs with long-term governance.
