The era of revolutions is characterized as the first stage of the 19th century and presents several changes in world society. This was because it was during this era that the concepts of freedom were disseminated in Europe, with repercussions in other regions of the planet, resulting in many changes in the views of monarchy and popular sovereignty.

This era was marked by the development of many social groups that fought for some of their rights. These groups had leaders who were extremely important for the development of their struggle and consequently for success. Among these leaders one of the most notable Maximilien Robespierre, who had a strong impact on his country, France.

Robespierre was a French jurist and politician, he was the leader of the Jaconins during one of the most tense periods of the French revolution, which justifies his popularity, since he had to face numerous challenges in the period known as "period of terror". Robespierre was a strong supporter of freedom. This influenced him to defend Jews, Protestants, artists, the right to vote, the opposition to slavery and the death penalty. He created several speeches on these topics, with correct and convincing arguments, thus attracting a large number of supporters and becoming a revolutionary leader and leader of the Jacobins.

After the Fall of the Bastille and the death of King Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette, Robespierre witnesses a moment of intense political stability in his country, to protect himself and his allies he begins to seek to establish his influence more and more stronger, in addition to causing strong political persecution to its opponents. At that moment, the Public Salvation Committee and the Revolutionary Court are created, which should help to implement the concepts of equality revolutionaries in the country, besides allowing the distribution of quality public education, the adoption of the concept of secular state and public hospitals with high quality standards. However, due to Robespierre's political persecution of his enemies, these committees lived a place to judge acts considered anri-revolutionaries, and the guilty individuals were taken to the guillotine. This moment became known as the period of terror or Jacobean terror.

Robespierre's policy was considered abusive and displeased many revolutionaries. They accused him of adopting dictatorial practices and tried to remove him from power, when they succeeded, ordered him and his supporters to be arrested. At the time of the arrest there was great confusion and Robespierre and some allies tried to throw themselves out of the window, some succeeded, but a shot by the guards hit him in the jaw, which weakened him and prevented him from escaping. He was tried for his actions and taken to the guillotine. After his death, France was governed by a Directorate and years later the joining of the bourgeoisie with the army promoted the rise of the government of Napoleon Bonaparte.
