Answers
Answer:
Maximilian Robespierre was the leader of Jacobins club which led a successful revolt and came to power. The period from 1793 to 1794 was know as "Reign of terror". This was because of the harsh measures taken by Robespierre to suppress opposition .
The government was significant in many ways. Being the first government of it's kind, as France shifted from monarchy to republic, it was rejoiced by the people. And obviously there was opossition too.
Robespierre took opossition seriously and guillotined them. Guillotine is a device in which blade is hanged in between a frame and released for execution. The execution was elegantly staged and presented to the public. He took it too far that even his supporters began doubting his methods. Any voice against him was shut.
