Maximilien Robespierre
Maximilien Robespierre
He was a French lawyer and politician who became one of the most influential figures of the French Revolution and without his influence the revolution would have turned out a lot differently. Robespierre was heavily influenced by the theories of the popular philosopher, Jean Jacques Rousseau. This led to Robespierre's belief in deism, democracy, and the natural goodness in man. Robespierre became increasingly popular for his attacks on the monarchy and his advocacy of democratic reforms.
(1758-1794)
