With the fall of Robespierre the Reign of Terror gradually came to an end.
The Revolutionary Tribunal was suspended and the functions of Committee of Public Safety were restricted. The Jacobin Club was closed.
The National Convention at last took up its long neglected task of framing a constitution for the French Republic.
The executive was entrusted to a Directory, consisting of five members. The legislative power was entrusted to two houses called the Council of Five Hundred and the Council of the Ancients.
Napoleon Bonaparte was then at Paris and he was entrusted with the task of defending the Convention against the Parisian mob. He dispersed the mob and saved the Convention and began his brilliant career.
On October 26, 1795 the convention declared itself dissolved and the Directory took charge of the French government.
It governed France from 1795 until it was overthrown by Napoleon Bonaparte replaced by French Consulate.
