Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The National Assembly, which was chosen indirectly, was given legislative authority by the Constitution of 1791. In other words, the Assembly was chosen by the electors that the public picked. But not every person was entitled to vote. The status of active citizens, which includes the right to vote, was only granted to men over 25 who paid taxes equivalent to at least three days of a labourer's income. In addition, they had to read, speak French, and have lived there for at least a year. All remaining men and women were considered passive citizens with no property rights.
Hence, the correct statement would be that the French Constitution of 1791 did not publicly vest law-making powers.
