The guillotine was a device used to decapitate people, or cut off their heads. The Jacobins used it to execute people who spoke against them. The unlucky person stuck his or her head underneath the blade, and then the executioner let the blade drop down quickly on the neck. Even though the death machine was terrifying and deadly, the guillotine was actually inspired by the Enlightenment. Compared to older execution techniques, such as hanging, burning or the using the breaking wheel, people in revolutionary France considered the guillotine to be a gentler, more humane way to execute people. Either way, people were still killing other people.
King Louis XVI, his wife, Marie Antoinette, and thousands of others who crossed Robespierre met their fate under the blade of guillotine. And the guillotine wasn't just some old historical horror. The French continued to use the guillotine until 1981, when France outlawed capital punishment.
At the time of the French Revolution, the guillotine was considered:
a)The least cruel form of capital punishment.
b)The most painful way to punish criminals.
d) Outdated and inhumane.
