		Pitt moved the suspension of Habeas Corpus in May 1794 because the cabinet was convinced that the threat of French invasion was real and that British radicals planned an armed uprising to support the landing and to discredit the government.
		Pitt was not afraid of the movement calling for parliamentary reform, but of the violence it seemed to unleash and he believed that the radicals hoped to coerce his government into a premature peace with France.
		While Mori's picture of Pitt as a moderate who was intellectually opposed neither to Enlightenment ideas nor to the existence of a French Republic is entirely convincing, she perhaps underplays Pitt's ideological opposition to certain aspects of the French Revolution.
