Mayor of Paris[edit]
When Louis XVI made his momentous visit to the Hôtel de Ville to endorse the Revolution (17
July), Bailly presented him with the new symbol of the revolution, the tricolour cockade. Along
with the Marquis de Lafayette, he is considered the indisputable hero of the early days of the
revolution.[who?]
In his function as mayor, he was attacked by Camille Desmoulins and Jean-Paul Marat as too
conservative. He continuously sought to promote the authority of the mayor while limiting the
power of the General Assembly of the Commune.
One of his actions in this position was to secure, with others, and in the face of threats and
ridicule, the passage of a decree of 27 September 1791 (confirmed by Legislative Assembly on
30 November of the same year), which declared Jews to be French citizens, with all rights and
privileges. This decree repealed the special taxes that had been imposed on the Jews, as well as
all the ordinances existing against them.
The dispersal by the National Guard, under his orders, of the riotous assembly in the Champ de
Mars (17 July 1791) made him extremely unpopular, and he retired to Nantes, where he
composed his Mémoires d'un témoin (published in 3 vols. by MM. Berville and Barrière, 1821–](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

The Paris Match
- 1. The Revolution interrupted his studies. Elected deputy from Paris to the Estates-General (12 May 1789), he was elected inaugural president of the National Assembly (17 June 1789), and led the famous proceedings in the Tennis Court (20 June), being the first to take the Tennis Court Oath. Shortly after the storming of the Bastille (14 July 1789) he became the first mayor of Paris under the newly adopted system of the Commune (15 July 1789 to 16 November 1791).

- 3. 1822), an incomplete narrative of the extraordinary events of his public life. He was replaced as mayor by Jerôme Pétion (16 November 1791). Execution[edit] In July 1793, Bailly left Nantes to join his friend Pierre Simon Laplace at Melun, but was there recognised and arrested. He was pressed to testify against Marie Antoinette (14 October), but he refused. He was brought (10 November) before theRevolutionary Tribunal in Paris, speedily tried, and sentenced to death the next day. On 12 November he was guillotined at the Champs de Mars, a site selected symbolically as the location of his great betrayal of the democratic movement. He was forced to endure the freezing rain and the insults of a howling mob. When a scoffer shouted, "Tu trembles, Bailly?" ("Do you tremble, Bailly?"), he stoically responded, "Oui, mais c'est seulement de froid." ("Yes, but it is only the cold.") In the words of the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, "He met his death with patient dignity; having, indeed, disastrously shared the enthusiasms of his age, but taken no share in its crimes."
