The legislative arm of then government used all the means possible to intimidate pro-republican citizens led by Maximillian Robespierre. The declaration could have erased the ignorance and contempt of the people’s rights such as corruption and illiteracy. They passed a bill of right that would have offered a level playing field to all the citizens irrespective of their color, race, sex or religion. The committee of public safety formulated policies that improved the economy and the formation of the French army. The committee also expressed the counteracting policies to revolutionary movements.
After the leader of the national assembly was executed, there was a debate on which way opt between the popular governance and the republican state. There were divergent views on the way of governance to adopt, but many French people lacked the confidence and severity to achieve their evolutionary push (Stinchcombe, 47).
Revolution could have embraced the rights of the public over the private’s rights of the few people in the government. The challenge was that all vicious elite were against the revolution. There were internal wrangles that had estranged the push for a revolution. There was defection of many pro revolutions to loyalist, and this compromised a lot of revolution efforts. The internal enemies of republic were just like the external ones who made it difficult to achieve this goal.
The American Revolution was aided by French both in resources and logistically. There were three groups of citizens and had different views on revolution. The patriots comprised of both the social and economic classes who had synergy in defending the right of the Americans (Stinchcombe, 76). The loyalists composed of Anglicans and older generations and also the Native Americans. There was a fair share of neutrals that had no stand on the revolution. The formulation and adoption of a new state constitution in the 1770 summer laid the foundation of the American republic.
