He was a member of the National Convention, Administrator of the Department of Paris and the President of the Committee of Public Safety. He was also a victim of the Reign of Terror and was guillotined on 5 April 1794.
Members of the National convention turned on Robespierre. They demanded his arrest and execution. The factions within the revolutionary government did not agree, so it was inevitable that one would gain the upper hand and denounce the other groups. So several of those who approved beheadings were themselves beheaded on the guillotine.

The National Convention was the governing body of France from the start of the revolution until the formation of the National Directory. They were originally made up of moderates, leftists, and rightists but that changed when Robespierre came into power. He led the reign of terror which removed most of the moderates and leftists from power and ended their lives. Following Robespierre's execution the Jacobins gained control of the National Convention and it became known as the Thermidorian Convention. It ruled very unwisely and is responsible for the great financial ruin that will later befall France during the reign of Napoleon. In 1794 they were replaced by the five man Directory, the Council of Ancients, and the Council of Five Hundred.

The Reign of Terror is associated with France, following the French Revolution. The Reign of Terror began when Maximilien Robespierre took control of the National Convention and Committee on Public Safety, and proceeded to try and execute anyone who did not agree with him.
Symbolized by the guillotine, the Terror was a period of the French Revolution when radical Jacobins seized control of the National Convention and launched a widespread campaign of executions. No part of society was spared from the deaths brought on by political motivation, greed, or dissent. Ultimately, the Terror remains a focal point in the history of the Revolution and conjures up the most startling images of the time of social upheaval.
Members of the National Convention turned on Robespierre because they perceived him as a threat to their own power. He had become increasingly dictatorial and his radical policies, including the Reign of Terror, had caused widespread fear and unrest. Robespierre was arrested in July 1794 and executed soon after, marking the end of the Reign of Terror and his own political career.
