Explanation:
The Committee of Public Safety recognized monopoly to be a serious misdemeanor because it succeeded in the traditional, class-based arrangement of distribution that commenced the French Revolution. The members of the committee desired everyone to possess equal access for the necessary goods. Furthermore, they stated that monopolies attacked the revolutionary thoughts of liberty and equality. Those involved in such activities were executed and their property was taken away as a punishment for committing this offence.
