The document provides information about the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution from 1793 to 1794. Maximilien Robespierre and the radical Jacobins took control of the revolutionary government and established a Committee of Public Safety to rule France. During this period, they arrested and executed thousands of people suspected of being disloyal to the revolution, with as many as 17,000 people officially executed in France and 2,639 in Paris alone. Robespierre instituted radical policies like rationing bread and banning expensive flour, using the guillotine to execute "enemies of the republic," and changing honorific titles to address all as "Citizen." However, increasing bloodshed and executions led others to organize against

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

4. 1793 - 1794
It was a period of intense political and
social activity in France. The period from
1793 to 1794 is referred to as the Reign
of Terror. People whom Robespierre saw
enemies of the republic were arrested,
imprisoned and then tried by a
revolutionary tribunal. If they were
declared guilty by the court then they
were guillotined.
6. Process Of The Old Hierarchy
The king, who claimed to rule the
country absolutely by divine right, or
the will of God. All the people of
France were his subjects, and he
held the power of law in his person.
Monarch
Nobles were people with hereditary
titles like duke, count, viscount, baron,
and chevalier. Some noble families
came from a military background,
stretching back to the days of the
medieval knights.
Nobility
The Catholic Church. France was a
Catholic country to the core, and the
Church was in charge of the nation's
religious life as well as charitable
works, education, and record
keeping.
The Clergy
The common people. While this
class made up about 96% of the
population, even it was divided.

7. The Jacobins and Girondists
Jacobins
As compared with the Girondists, the Jacobins
were men of rougher stamp, occasionally
ill-educated, coarse and unscrupulous. In
some cases, they were cruel. In many
cases, they were corrupt. However, they
were practical and alert politicians who
were prepared to run great risks. They
were merciless to their enemies, but were
prepared to suffer themselves if they were
defeated.
According to the Jacobins, all powers and rights
resided in the people and the law and
government must give way before them.
Girondists
The Girondists had the majority and the
Jacobins were in a minority. The Girondists were
so-called from the district of Gironde from which
many of their leaders came.
On the whole, they were men of high intellectual
calibre, education and refinement. They were
honest and decent.
Their intentions were pure. They were not
unscrupulous in their methods. They were
moderates. They had a sense of restraint and loved
order. They stood for a Republican form of
government.
It has already been pointed out that the two parties which were prominent in the Legislative Assembly in 1791
were the Girondists and the Jacobins.
10. Maximilien François Marie Isidore de
Robespierre; (6 May 1758 – 28 July
1794) was a French lawyer and
statesman who was one of the best-
known and most influential figures of
the French Revolution. As a member of
the Constituent Assembly and the
Jacobin Club, he campaigned for
universal manhood suffrage and the
abolition both of celibacy for the clergy,
and slavery.

12. The Reign of Terror was a dark and violent
period of time during the French Revolution.
Radicals took control of the revolutionary
government. They arrested and executed
anyone who they suspected might not be loyal
to the revolution.
During the Reign of Terror, France was ruled
by a group of men called the Committee of
Public Safety. The leader of this group was a
man named Robespierre. Robespierre was
also the leader of a radical group called the
Jacobins. The Jacobins felt that it was their
duty to preserve the revolution, even if it
meant violence and terror.

As the bloodshed and executions of the
Terror became worse, many people
realized that it could not continue.

overthrow him. On July 27, 1794, he
was removed from power and the Reign
of Terror was over. He was executed the
next day.
