Answer:

It put into practice the concepts of constitutional monarchy and indirect election.

Step-by-step explanation:

France's first Constitution was drafted during the French Revolution, in 1791 and was effective on September 3, 1791, and accepted by Louis XVI. It reformed the French State and France was made a constitutional monarchy stating that sovereignty resides in the nation and no longer in the king. There was freedom of religion, freedom of thought and of the press and also put to an end the nobility and hereditary distinctions.
