Solution

The correct answer is "elected indirectly."

Explanation

The Constitution of 1791 established a constitutional monarchy in France, distinguishing between different groups of citizens based on property ownership, which ultimately influenced the electoral process. Under this constitution, the National Assembly was formed as a body representing the interests of the people, but not all citizens had the right to vote directly. Instead, the assembly was to be composed of representatives who were elected by "active citizens," which were defined as those who paid a certain amount in taxes. This indirect method of electing representatives meant that while there was some level of popular participation, it was limited to a portion of the population, thereby excluding many groups from the electoral process and reinforcing social hierarchies of the time.
