. Twenty centuries of Paris . land erected in the middle, andafter taking part in a religious service, listenedto Lafayette, who was the first to swear to up-hold the Constitution, and to Louis, who de-clared: I, King of the French, swear to usethe power which the constitutional act of theState has delegated to me, for the maintenanceof the Constitution decreed by the National As-sembly and accepted by me The Assembly confiscated church property andgave to the state the control of the clergy.
