The following points explains the Reign of Terror:
1) The period from 1793 to 1794 is called Reign of Terror because Robespierre followed a policy of severe control and punishment. Ex nobles, clergy, members of other political parties and even the members of his own party, who did not agree with his methods, were arrested, imprisoned and guillotined.
2) Laws were issued by Robespierre 's government placing a maximum ceiling of wages and prises. Meat and bread were rationed.
3) Peasants were forced to transport the grains to the cities and sell it at price fixed by government. The use of more expensive white flour was forbidden; all citizens were required to eat equality bread.
4) Equality was also sought to be practice through forms of speech and address. Instead of the traditional Sir and Madam, French men and women were addressed as citizens.
5) Churches were shutdown and their buildings converted into barracks or offices. Finally, Robespierre was convicted by a court in July 1794, arrested and the next day, sent to the guillotine.
