Super short paragraph and one question
pls help
The National Assembly continued to meet. In the meetings, a group called the Jacobins began to have more influence. The Jacobins were the most radical of the revolutionaries. They believed that the new government should completely eliminate the king. And they did. When King Louis XVI tried to flee the country with his family, the Jacobins caught him and chopped off his head!
The Jacobins used violence against anyone who didn't agree with their views. Their leader was Maximilien de Robespierre. Influenced by Enlightenment thinker, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, he believed that people should be governed by the general will. He thought the government should act only in ways that are supported by all citizens. As people came to agree with Robespierre, he got addicted to the power. Soon, if you didn't agree with Robespierre, he'd have his men chop off your head. Even though the National Assembly had fought for rights for all, Robespierre now had almost complete control. His rule was known as the Reign of Terror.
Some people fought back against the Jacobins. Eventually, people grew tired of Robespierre and his reign of terror, and he was executed in July 1794. Who would lead after that?
Which of these best describes how Robespierre ruled?
A) Peacefully
B) Generously
C) Weakly
D) Violently
