| | Maximilien Robespierre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This moderantism, as it was called, was as objectionable to the members of the Committee under Robespierre's influence as the doctrines of the Hébertists. | | | However, although Robespierre may not have raised the levers on the guillotine himself, as the leader, mouthpiece and articulator of the Terror, his responsibility cannot be denied. | | | The Convention, moved by Robespierre's eloquence, at first passed his motions; but he was replied to by Joseph Cambon the financier, Billaud-Varenne, Amar and Vadier, and the Convention rescinded their decrees and referred Robespierre's question to their committees. |

| | Robespierre was indeed a murderous political despot and hypocrite in his own right. | | | In his Justification, Robespierre states that Justice comes from a judiciary which is responsible to the people -- however in his political actions he had justice dispensed according to nothing but his own agenda. | | | Though it was his murderous actions which eventually cost him his head in 1794, his words are what most betray his hypocrisy. |

| | Robespierre was banned from the National Convention (France's governing body) and placed under house arrest on July 27, 1794. | | | His political influence grew as he was elected to positions of authority; in May 1789, with the French Revolution on the brink of exploding onto the already disordered political scene, he was elected a deputy of the Estates-General, a body of representatives in the French government. | | | The early years of his life read like a good storybook: an impoverished boy transcends his circumstances to become a respected lawyer. |

| | The French Revolution |
| | Though obviously in response to a slave revolt in Saint Domingue, led by Toussaint L'Ouverture (1743-1803), the decision to abolish slavery was not uncontroversial. | | | Thus, Robespierre eventually lost his head to the guillotine after the Thermidorian Revolution of 1794. | | | His year of rule has consequently been called "the Reign of Terror," although Robespierre, himself, was personally opposed to the death penalty. |

| | As a result Sade was transferred on July 4, 1789 to the hospital for the criminally insane at Charenton and released in 1791. | | | He then became chairman of the revolutionary Section des Piques in which "Citizen Sade" was active as a radical Jacobin until he quarreled with Robespierre and was once again committed to the hospital for the criminally insane. | | | So Robespierre planned not only to put all Frenchmen (and women) in uniform (like Mao's "blue ants"), he also planned to raze all church steeples as "undemocratic." They were higher than the other buidlings and as a result stood out because of their "aristocratic" bearing. |

| | In this period a critical point of dispute was how severe the revolutionary government should be, and Robespierre referred to this issue in his speech of February 5,1794, from which excerpts are given here. | | | Those who heard him were aware that in the five months from September, 1793, to February 5, 1794, the revolutionary tribunal in Paris convicted and executed 238 men and 31 women and acquitted 190 persons, and that on February 5 there were 5,434 individuals in the prisons in Paris awaiting trial. | | | The committee formulated policy and directed the administration and the army against those who hoped to restore royal and noble power: the kings and the aristocracies of Austria, Prussia, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and Spain and the counter-revolutionaries who waged civil war in the western and southeastern parts of France itself. |

| | One man alone is paralyzing the will of the Convention. | | | Nevertheless after the trial Danton asserted that "the people will tear my enemies to pieces within 3 months." As he was led to the guillotine he remarked "Above all, don't forget to show my head to the people - it's well worth having a look at." Modesty was never one of his virtues. | | | The Convention ordered that "if material or moral proof exists, independently of the evidence of witnesses, the latter will not be heard, unless this formality should appear necessary, either to discover accomplices or for other important reasons concerning the public interest." The promises of the Declaration of the Rights of Man were forgotten. |
