Two friends are hanging out in Paris. They are discussing France's history. |
|
 | So, I was thinking about the French Revolution. They were quite violent the back then. |  |
|
 | Yeah, like during the Reign Of Terror. |  |
|
|
|
|
They are thinking about the Reign Of Terror, which was when the Public Safety Committee killed thousands of people by the guillotine. |
|
 | Yeah, when all those people were killed just because they opposed the new government. What a shame. |  |
|
 | Yes, I'm sure they could have solved that problem in a much easier manner than just killing everyone. |  |
|
|
|
|
This event was obviously not democratic, because this was basically one person saying, "Kill them all!" If it had been democratic, then they would've lived, most likely. |
|
 | They should've taken a vote, or called together the National Assembly to see what should be done. |  |
|
 | Yes, that would've been much more democratic. |  |
