Discours par Maximilien Robespierre — 5 Fevrier 1791-11 Janvier 1792

A series of parliamentary and public speeches lays out critiques and proposals concerning judicial procedure, civil liberties, and constitutional questions. The speaker contests a proposed juror selection scheme as susceptible to administrative control and partisan influence, defends freedom of the press as essential to public discourse and improvement, and addresses rules for legislative re‑election alongside objections to tying civic rights to tax or contribution qualifications. Other addresses assess the justice and limits of the death penalty, consider the consequences of a sovereign's flight and assertions of inviolability, and weigh policy and preparedness in the prospect of war, combining legal reasoning with political principle and concrete reform suggestions.
