By: Ethan Rihn
EARLY LIFE
Born on May 6, 1758
His mom died when he was 6 and father soon left after her death
He went to Louis Le Grand and went into law and philosophy in Aras
University
He became a lawyer in 1781 and later created his own private practice when
he became a judge
At the age of thirty is first political experience was when he was elected to
the General Estate-assembly of estates that represented France
LE DFENSEUR DE LA CONSTITUTION
Created by Robespierre
He used it to attack other political figures and turn the people against them
Ex. Marquis Lafayette was the leader of the National Guard and he had a secret
drive to keep the monarchy but Robespierre used this newspaper to attack and
get rid of his rising military rule
Fun Fact: he helped fight in the American Revolution by giving George
Washington some of his own army and commanded side by side with him
NATIONAL CONVENTION
On September 20, 1792 he joined the National Convention~~the new
government of France after the National Guard over threw the monarchy
National Convention made up of Jacobins and Girondins-deputies from the
department of the Gironde
The first the action the Convention did was determine the kings fate; the
Jacobins won the argument against the Girondins and put him on trial (the
king was called for treason and executed by guillotine.
Then Robespierre had the Girondins tried and killed for opposing him and he
controlled the National Congress
KARMA'S A GUILLOTINE
The jailer rejected this request and let him go so the
National Convention said he was a fugitive
Robespierre went to the City Hall of Paris and hid there
with loyal soldiers defending him
He felt scared and betrayed so he attempted suicide but
that failed
The national convention captured him while he was
unable to move from his failed attempt and they decided
his fate
Robespierre was dying so they had him taken down to
Place de la Concorde where King XVI and Marie-Antoinette
where killed by guillotine and him suffer the same fate
