Read the quote delivered by the Consulate on November 12, 1799. People of France: Swear with us to be true to the Republic one and indivisible, founded on equality, liberty, and the representative system. What is the problem with this quote?

Answer:

France was not founded on equality and liberty. This was uttered not by the Consuls, but only by Napoleon. A representative system wasn't created—a dictatorship was. The year the statement was made was 1789. A representative system wasn't created—a dictatorship was.
