Robespierre overthrown in France. ... In April 1790, he presided over the Jacobins, a powerful political club that promoted the ideas of the French Revolution. He called for King Louis XVI to be put on trial for treason and won many enemies, but the people of Paris consistently came to his defense
Explanation:
Maximilien de Robespierre suffered the loss of both his parents when he was young. His mother died when he was six and his father followed soon after. He was the oldest of four children, and was raised by his maternal grand-parents. He studied Law and graduated 1781, and practiced Law, which earned him a comfortable income. He went for political change in France. As a devote of Rousseau, he held moral values close, and stood for the poorest in society, giving him the title "the incorruptible." At age 30, he was elected to the Estates General of the French legislature. He became popular with the people for his attacks on the French monarchy, and he strongly opposed the death penalty. Some of his colleagues saw his refusal to compromise as extreme and impractical. Later, he left the Estates General to push his agenda outside of the government.
On April 1789, he was elected president of the Jacobins. A Year later, he participated in writing the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, a set of rights for property owning men over the age of 25. When the people of Paris rose to defy the King in 1792, He was elected to head the Paris delegation to the Nation Convention. In the December of the same year, he successfully argued for the execution of King Louis XVI. On July 27, 1793, Maiximilien Robespierre was elected to the Committee of Public Safety. The Revolutionary government instituted the Reign of Terror in September. In the next 11 months, a suspected 300 000 enemies of the Revolution were arrested and approximately 17 000 were guillotined, a contradictory to what he stood for at first. Robespierre then called for more purges and executions because he was intoxicated with the power over life and death.
As the Country was no longer threatened by outside enemies, the Revolutionary government begins to question his motives and the moderates and revolutionaries formed to oppose Robespierre and his followers. On July 27, 1794, Robespierre and his allies were arrested and taken to prison. He was able to escape with the help of a jailer and hid in the city hall of Paris. He was declared an outlaw by the National Convention and tried to commit suicide, but only succeeded in wounding his jaw. The Convention later stormed the building and he and his followers were guillotined.
