Answers
1. France, during the reign of terror, was ruled by the Committee of Public Safety. This committee considered monopoly as a serious crime because it observed the traditional, class-based system of economics that led to the Revolution in France.
2. The members of this society wanted everyone to have equal access for the basic goods.
3. The leader of this group was Robespierre (who was also the leader of the Jacobin club).
4. The Jacobin club observed the supreme egalitarianism and persecution and assisted the Revolutionary government in France. Accordingly, mass slaughter and public violence observed during this period.
