One of the influential political clubs during the French revolution was the Jacobins. They were considered to be the radical revolutionaries who planned the rise of French revolution and the downfall of the King.

The society of friends of the Constitution was the formal name of the club but they got the name Jacobins after Jacobin Monastery and soon they involved frequently in terror actions in order to curb treason and foreign attacks.

The club started with few members but it started to grow rapidly when the French revolution was in progress. When the French revolution was in its full fledged movement, the clubs seems to have nearly 500,000 members in it.
