French Directoire
(179599) Government set up during the French Revolution by the Constitution of 1795 .
Legislative power was placed in the Council of Five Hundred and the Council of Ancients, while executive power was placed in a five-member Directory. Though the Directors nominally inherited many of the powers of the Committee of Public Safety , they had no funds to finance their projects or courts to enforce their will. The regime was marked by administrative chaos and corruption and by the uprisings in the Vendée . It was overthrown in Napoleon 's Coup of 1819 Brumaire .
