Discours par Maximilien Robespierre — 17 Avril 1792-27 Juillet 1794

A selection of political speeches, reports, and formal replies delivered during the revolutionary period, focused on questions of justice, constitutional design, and the conduct of public power. The texts present arguments about the judgment of the former sovereign, proposals for a declaration of rights and a republican constitution, and explanations of measures adopted by the governing committee. Several pieces respond to personal accusations and outline principles of civic virtue, public morality, and the relation of religion to republican principles. The collection closes with a dramatic address recounting the crisis that ended the author’s political ascendancy.
