-"Liberty cannot be secured unless criminals lose there heads" this is what Robespierre said. The middle class and the poor class had more power than they ever had because things in France were more democratic. With the new power people went a little crazy with it ,that's when there was a period of time called the Reign of Terror. Robespierre took over with his power he just started cutting peoples heads off. For instance there was this gang called the Jacobins they went around looking for people that were connected with the old regime cutting there heads off with the famous guillotine. They even killed louis the 16th finding him for treason. He changed the days of the week and got rid of sunday saying that it was too religious so all the church's were closed. The Reign of Terror ended when Napoleon Bonaparte stepped in and brought everything that Robespierre destroyed to peace once again.
