Having established a constitutional monarchy, the French people struggle with the balance of power and are fearful of threats to their newly gained freedoms. Tensions rise between the monarchy and the people, the latter represented by fervent revolutionary groups like the Girondins and the Montagnards or "the Mountain." Foreign powers seek to intervene and restore the monarchy to absolute power. Amidst the chaos, a newly elected Legislative Assembly is torn between preserving the constitution and supporting the people against the monarchy. The author illustrates the king's veto of measures supported by the Assembly, measures such as the punishment of à migràs and the empowerment of the people to monitor and punish non-juring priests, as well as the Assembly's resistance to these vetoes. The author further explores the growing influence of the Girondins and the growing disdain for the monarchy among the populace. The book concludes by examining the build up to war between France and other European powers who aim to suppress revolutionary ideals in France.
