At the time that the Convention was drawing to a close, and the decree of the Two-Thirds applied, the deputies had to be counted, which led them to record their etat-civil, their family and their social status. Confronted by attacks from royalist circles, they also felt obliged to prove their « vertu », and they decided in vendémiaire an IV to make public the details of their revenue and the value of their estates. These lists, especially the second category, are incomplete – the leading orators of the tribunes showed themselves to be exceptionally discreet in this respect. This says a great deal about the consequences of political purges that gradually called into question the vote of 1792, and destabilized the departmental deputations. With these lists, it is possible to establish a sociology of the Convention, including a hierarchy and structure of wealth. Such information is not based exclusively on land, but also on financial investments, and on the long-standing practice of financialexchanges and transfers of capital, even before the opportunities afforded by the sale of national properties. The collective family portraits that emerged from these lists are highly informative about the ages, the burdens of celibacy, the sexual divisions and roles, the shared political and monetary misery when the inflation of the Year Three made life in Paris extremely difficult.
