The Incorruptible
As the French Revolution gripped the nation, Robespierre frequently spoke in the Constituent Assembly in favor of the lower classes of France voicing ideas supporting equal rights for all. During this period Robespierre coined the motto “Liberté, égalité, fraternité” (“Freedom, Equality, Fraternity”). This is now the national motto of France. The Society of the Friends of the Constitution, known as the Jacobin club, was the most influential political club during the French Revolution. Robespierre became associated with Jacobin Club and in April 1790, he was elected its president. He became increasingly popular in the club as well as among the masses for his attacks on the monarchy and for his advocacy of democratic reforms. He became known as l’Incorruptible (The Incorruptible) for his steadfast adherence to his views. This earned him a devoted following among the Jacobins. Seal of the Jacobin Club
