This leader used his writing and words to lead the French Revolution. The final and most important leader of the French Revolution was Maximilien Robespierre. He was a leader of the Third Estate and went to Versailles when the King called the meeting of the Estates-General. From the day the Estates-General met, Robespierre started his rise to power. He became a member of the Jacobins, a group of people in the National Assembly (Third Estate) that had a lot of power. He became the leader of the Committee of Public Safety when Georges-Jacques Danton was kicked out in July 1793. To rid the country of “internal dissent” or disagreement between the leaders, Robespierre and the Committee of Public Safety started the Reign of Terror. During this time period over 40,000 people were killed, most of it being by the guillotine.
