The King has to share power with the elected Legislative Assembly, but he retains his royal veto and the ability to select ministers.
The king will veto many of the Assembly's bills throughout its existence.
Legislation declaring the émigrés guilty of conspiracy and prosecuted as such is passed on November 8, 1791, but vetoed by Louis.
Enforcement of the Civil Constitution of the Clergy: on November 29, 1791 the Assembly decrees that every non-juring clergyman who does not take the civic oath within eight days will lose his pension and, if any troubles break out, he will be deported.

Over the course of a year, such disagreements will lead to a constitutional crisis.
