Jacobin Club

The Jacobin Club was a political group during the French Revolution, active mainly between 1789 and 1794. It was composed of radical reformers who advocated for equality, the abolition of monarchy, and the establishment of a republic. The Jacobins were influential in pushing revolutionary policies and led during the most radical phase of the revolution, including the Reign of Terror. They supported ideas of secularism, social justice, and wanted to reshape French society to reflect revolutionary ideals. Their leadership and decisions played a significant role in shaping France’s transition from monarchy to democracy.
