Answer:

Hey friend! here is the answer....

Explanation:

• The period from 1793 to 1794 is referred to as the Reign of Terror. Robespierre followed a policy of severe control and punishment.
• All those whom he saw as being ëenemiesí of therepublic ñ ex-nobles and clergy, members of other political parties, even members of his own party who did not agree with his methods ñ were arrested, imprisoned and then tried by a revolutionary tribunal.
• If the court found them guilty they were guillotined. The guillotine is a device consisting of two poles and a blade with which a person is beheaded. It was named after Dr Guillotin who invented it.
• Robespierreís government issued laws placing a maximum ceiling  on wages and prices. Meat and bread were rationed. Peasants  were forced to transport their grain to the cities and sell it at prices fixed by the government.
• The use of more expensive white flour was forbidden; all citizens were required to eat the pain díÈgalitÈ (equality bread), a loaf made of wholewheat. Equality was also sought to be practised through forms of speech and address.
• Instead of the traditional Monsieur (Sir) and Madame (Madam) all French men and women were henceforth Citoyen and Citoyenne (Citizen).
• Churches were shut down and their buildings converted into barracks or offices. Robespierre pursued his policies so relentlessly that even his supporters began to demand moderation.
• Finally, he was convicted by a court in July 1794, arrested and on the next day sent to the guillotine.
