 Recent studies have shown that this claim of the political inexperience of members of the National Assembly is greatly exaggerated. See, especially, Timothy Tackett, Becoming a Revolutionary: The Deputies of the French National Assembly and the Emergence of a Revolutionary Culture (1789–1790) (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1996).
