6. Important Figures of the French Revolution

7. Maximilien Robespierre Maximilien Robespierre (6 May 1758 – 28 July 1794) was a French lawyer and politician. He opposed the death penalty and advocated the abolition of slavery, while supporting equality of rights, universal male suffrage and the establishment of a republic. As a member of the Committee of Public Safety, he was an important figure during the Reign of Terror, which ended a few months after his arrest and execution in July of 1794. The Thermidorians accused him of being the "soul" of the Terror because of his steadfast adherence and defense of his views. He earned the nickname l'Incorruptible (The Incorruptible). He believed in a radical purification of politics by the killing of enemies.

8. Gracchus Babeuf Gracchus Babeuf (23 November 1760 – 27 May 1797) was a French political activist and journalist. His newspaper Le tribun du people ("the tribune of the people") was best known for his advocacy for the poor and calling for a popular revolt against the government of France. He is often called the “first Revolutionary Communist.” He was a leading advocate for democracy, but he angered the authorities and he was executed for his role in the Conspiracy of the Equals.

9. Madame Roland Madame Roland (17 March 1754 – 8 November 1793) was a supporter of the French Revolution and an influential member of the Girondist faction. She fell out of favor during the Reign of Terror and died on the guillotine. On 8 November 1793, she was awaiting her death but before she placed her head on the block, she bowed before the clay statue of Liberty in the Place de la Révolution, uttering the famous remark for which she is remembered: O Liberté, que de crimes on commet en ton nom! (Oh Liberty, what crimes are committed in thy name!)
