here is your answer plzzzzzzz mark me as brainiest plzzzzzzz
Explanation:
The French Revolution was one of the those crazy events in history that, if it weren't so tragic and horrific, would almost be funny. The masses whipped themselves up into a frenzy, a true hysteria that enabled them to justify the beheading of thousands. In the end, some who had endorsed the execution of thousands were themselves executed. The most notable example of this change-of-events involved the Jacobin leader, Maximilien Robespierre, but we'll discuss him in a moment.
So who were the Jacobins? The Jacobins were members of a French republican organization called the Jacobin Club. The term 'republican' has a different meaning here than being a member of the modern American Republican Party; when we say 'republican' we mean that they favored a republican form of government, as opposed to a monarchy. The Jacobins were left-wing revolutionaries who aimed to end the reign of King Louis XVI and establish a French republic in which political authority came from the people. The Jacobins were the most famous and radical political faction involved in the French Revolution.
So, why the name? The group's name came from the location where they began meeting, the Rue Saint-Jacques (or Jacob) in Paris. When the French Revolution first broke out, deputies (or elected officials) from the group began meeting at this site in order to plot a revolution. The Jacobins emerged as the most radical of the many political factions in France. They supported the beheading of King Louis XVI, whereas other groups favored exiling or imprisoning him.
