In the early 1790’s, Maximilien De Robespierre began to work towards overthrowing the French monarchy and making the country a democratic nation. Around this time, there was an uprising in France, and in 1792, the French monarchy was in ruins. Soon afterward, De Robespierre was elected as one of the leaders of the Paris Delegation.
