	Robespierre, Maximilien Marie Isidore. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Robespierre was elected to the States-General of 1789, and his influence in the Jacobin Club grew steadily until he became its leader (see Jacobins).
		Robespierre opposed both the extreme left, under Jacques Hébert, and the moderates, led by Georges Danton and Camille Desmoulins.
		By this time, however, Robespierre’s position was becoming precarious; he was faced by divisions within the Committee of Public Safety and by opposition from the Plain in the Convention.

		On May 7 Robespierre, who had previously condemned the Cult of Reason, advocated a new state religion and recommended the Convention to acknowledge the existence of God; on June 8 the inaugural Festival of the Supreme being took place.

	Maximilien Robespierre, Master of the Terror
		Maximilien Robespierre, known to his contemporaries as "the Incorruptible," is one of the most controversial and perhaps misunderstood figures of the French Revolution.
		Robespierre was six when his mother died and eight when his father began disappearing; this disruption of a heretofore very happy family life left deep impressions on young Robespierre, forcing him to mature quickly.
		Robespierre's failure can be viewed as that of a man so narrow-minded in his views that eventually he cannot conceive of anything outside of them, a man so firmly convinced of his own absolute rightness that he cannot see the glaring errors he makes.

	Maximilien de Robespierre et Louis-Antoine de Saint-Just
		As Rousseau was Robespierre's idol, Robespierre was Saint-Just's.
		Robespierre had, in fact, been informed of the secret inner workings of the Committee for a full month before by two of its members under Danton, the crippled but determined Georges Couthon and Robespierre's devotee Saint-Just who had been appointed before him.
		After his lengthy disappearance, Robespierre finally returned to the Convention two days later (8 Thermidor) to deliver a speech, prompted by his now full-blown distrust, to deliver those he believed to be his last remaining enemies and traitors of the revolution to the guillotine.

	Maximilien Robespierre
		Robespierre was a superb orator and opportunist who appears to have used the Nationalist sentiments of the time to further his own interests and career and to justify the murders of all who stood in his way.
		Robespierre can be further shown at odds with the revolution's original spirit by examining the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, passed by that same National Assembly a short time later.
		It can be argued that Robespierre and his contemporaries created of themselves a dictatorship more insidious than could be boasted by any monarchy that had existed in France during their lifetimes.

		Robespierre is one of the characters that tells the story from his POV and therefore is portrayed sympthetically....but more of a practical, if idealistic, politician whose chief failing is falling out of line with the sans-culotte than anything else.

	Ideology of Robespierre
		Robespierre dreamed of an egalitarian republic that would rid society of the speculators who took rights away from the common man. His Republic was a system whose objective was to realize the equality which must be both democratic and socially egalitarian.
		Robespierre shared Rousseau's view that private property was the root of social inequality.
		Robespierre felt the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, drafted by the National Assembly, was made for capitalists and speculators because it did not define the nature and legitimacy of man's freedom of property.

	The Revolutionary Career of Maximilien Robespierre by David P. Jordan
		Jordan's version of Robespierre's biography is a slanted, utopian vision of the world, according to L'Incorruptible, Robespierre, judging him by his writings rather than by his well known treacherous and sanguinary deeds and the toll they took on France from 1789-1794, particularly 1793-1794.
		What Robespierre actually did or did not do is important because even though he presided over the Reign of Terror, Robespierre also contributed significantly in driving the Revolution down the path of radicalism and violence, in the preceding years (1789-1793).
		The constitution that Robespierre was purportedly defending was the Constitution of 1791 that had established a Constitutional Monarchy for France in which the king possessed a powerful veto over the legislature (the Legislative Assembly).
