Historiography generally postulates that the establishment of the Revolutionary government would have been followed by the suppression of the right of citizens to elect and dismiss public officials. However,the study of the policy conducted by the Paris Commune, and in particular by its mayor Jean-Nicolas Pache, invalidates this interpretation. Together with the National Convention and the Committee of Public Safety, they continued to organize the election of members of the Commune and sectional institutions by the general assemblies of the sections in accordance with the Constitution of 24, June 1793, and chiefly withArticle 29 of the Declarationof the Rights of Man andthe Citizen.The rightof revocation, a revolutionarypopularinitiative,was also guaranteed and put into practice. This study, however, remains limited to the municipal elections in Paris, from September 1793 to 9 Thermidor an II (7 July 1794) and thus awaits complementary work elsewhere.
