This is short on citation of sources. In no small part this is my fault: large portions of this are among my first contributions to Wikipedia, and I hadn't yet realized how important that is. (I've just gone back and done my best to fix that.)
Also, much of the same material is covered at French_Directory#18_Brumaire. Probably this article is where it should be, with maybe a 2-paragraph summary there and a "See main article" reference. In any case, the two should be merged. -- Jmabel 07:04, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC) * I'll work on this over the next day or two. -- Jmabel 20:16, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)
I've now dealt with integrating the material here. The other article was just a straight cut & paste from the 1911 EB, not much new. -- Jmabel 20:38, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Two Councils
I think a much better job needs to be done of introducing the "two Councils". The first mention of them uses just those words, and it isn't until several paragraphs later that they both are named. No description of their roles or membership is given (except that one evidently has 500 members). I know we don't need to recapitulate the article on The Directory here, but surely a sentence or two on each council is not out of order. Mdotley 13:22, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
