Explanation:
The trial of Louis XVI. in December 1792, a key event of the French Revolution, was the trial of the former king–officially called "Citizen Louis Capet" since being dethroned in September–before the National Convention. He was convicted of high treason and other crimes, resulting in his execution.
The trial began on 3 December. On 4 December the Convention's president Bertrand Barère presented it with the fatal indictment (drafted by Jean-Baptiste Robert Lindet) and decreed the interrogation of Louis XVI. Louis made his entrance into the Convention chamber then: "Louis", said Barère de Vieuzac, "the nation accuses you, the National Assembly decreed on 3 December that you would be judged by it; on 6 December, it decided that you would be brought to the dock. We shall read you the act giving the offenses with which you are charged...".[citation needed]
The charges Edit
Louis was then read the charges by the Convention's secretary, Jean-Baptiste Mailhe:
"Louis, the French Nation accuses you of having committed a multitude of crimes to establish your tyranny, in destroying her freedom."
On 20 June 1789, Louis shut down the Estates-General, resulting in the commoners (non-nobles, non-clergy) swearing not to disband. Mailhe characterized this as an attack on the sovereignty of the people.[1][2] Louis's answer: "No laws then existed to prevent me from it."
"You ordered an army to march against the citizens of Paris" and ceased only after the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789. Louis's answer: It was my right but "I never had an intention of spilling blood."●Despite promises made to the National Constituent Assembly, Louis refused to acknowledge the abolition of feudalism, as stated in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. He invited troops to Versailles and feted them in a lavish banquet where the cockade of France was (purportedly) "trampled under foot" resulting in the insurrectionary Women's March on Versailles on 5 October 1789. Louis's answer: My refusals were just; I never saw the desecration of the cockade.
●At Fête de la Fédération of 14 July 1790, Louis took an oath which Mailhe said he did not keep by conspiring with the counter-revolutionaries Antoine Omer Talon and Mirabeau. Louis's answer: I do not remember.
