(Report of Cambon; July 11)。 〃It is now a fortnight since you
demanded a Constitution。 Very well; here it is 。 。 。 。 Respect
for persons and property is amply secured in it。 Yes; more definitely
than in any other constitution。 Does it provide for its own revision?
Yes; for in six weeks; we can convoke the primary assemblies and
express our desire for the reform that may appear necessary。 … Will
the popular wish be respected? Yes; the people then will make

〃Although we were assured that we should pass only through Maratist
towns; we had the satisfaction of finding nearly all the inhabitants
regarding Marat with horror。 They had indeed accepted the
Constitution offered by the Committee of Public Safety; but solely to
end the matter and on conditions which would speak well for them; for;
everywhere the renewal of the Convention was exacted and the
punishment of assaults made on it。〃 This desire; and others analogous
to it; are given in the procès…verbaux of many of the primary
assemblies (Archives Nationales; B。 II。; 23); for example; in those
of the thirteen cantons of Ain。 A demand is made; furthermore; for
