Explanation:

Maximilien Robespierre was one of the most powerful and radical leaders of the French Revolution. He led the Mountain group within the Jacobin Club. Once elected President of the Committee of Public Safety, he instituted the Reign of Terror, making laws that allowed anyone suspected of treason to be put in prison or executed. Eventually, the other leaders grew weary of the Terror and had Robespierre arrested and executed by guillotine.
