Law of 22 Floréal Year VI
- Law of 22 Floréal Year VI
The Law of 22 Floréal Year VI ("loi du 22 floréal an VI") was a law—arguably constituting a bloodless coup—passed on 11 May 1798 (22 Floréal Year VI by the French Republican Calendar) by which 106 left-wing deputies were deprived of their seats in the Council of Five Hundred, the lower house of the legislature under the French Directory.
