Emmanuel Joseph Sieyes vs Sher Bahadur Deuba

Sieyès published the pamphlet 'What is the Third Estate?', which argued that the Third Estate constituted the nation and should have political power. The pamphlet became a foundational text of the French Revolution.

Sieyès was instrumental in the formation of the National Assembly. He proposed the Tennis Court Oath, in which deputies swore not to disband until a constitution was established.

Sieyès was elected to the National Convention, where he initially voted for the execution of Louis XVI. However, he later distanced himself from the radical Jacobins.

Sieyès conspired with Napoleon Bonaparte to overthrow the Directory. He helped draft the new constitution that established the Consulate, but was soon sidelined by Napoleon.

Deuba became Prime Minister for the first time, leading a coalition government of the Nepali Congress and other parties. His tenure focused on economic liberalization and infrastructure development.

As Prime Minister, Deuba signed the Comprehensive Peace Accord with the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), ending the decade-long civil war. The accord led to the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of a federal republic.

Deuba's government faced a constitutional crisis when President Bidya Devi Bhandari dissolved parliament on his recommendation. The Supreme Court reinstated parliament, ruling the dissolution unconstitutional.

Deuba was appointed Prime Minister for the fifth time after the Supreme Court reinstated the House of Representatives. He led a coalition government amid the COVID-19 pandemic and economic challenges.
