	Historically in [[France]], '''moderates''' were a middle-of-the-road political faction or group during the French Revolution. The French National Assembly established a constitutional monarchy and, in 1791, adopted a new constitution that created a Legislative Assembly. Three factions quickly formed in the new Legislative Assembly, known as the [[radicals]] (liberals), moderates (centrists) and [[Conservatives (1700s French Political party)\|Conservatives]], similar to those political movements today in the United States.
