What did people do to receive the guillotine?

According to Wikipedia: The guillotine was used as the main method of execution in France and was made part of their popular culture during the French Revolution. The last publicguillotining was of Eugen Weidmann, who convicted of six murders. The first official use of the guillotine in France was April 25, 1792. The last was September 10, 1977. Capital crimes at the begining of the French Revolution were punishable by death by guillotine except for certain crimes against the security of the state which require the firing squad. Durring the French Revolution execution by guillotine was popular and most of the democratic reforms of the revolution were suspended and large-scale executions by guillotine began. Nobility and commoners, intellectuals, politicians and prostitutes were liable to be executed on little or no grounds; suspicion of "crimes against liberty" was a popular claim. Estimates of the death toll range between 16,000 and 40,000. Maximilien Robespierre became one of the most powerful men in the government, and the figure most associated with the Reign of Terror. In July 1794 he was arrested and executed in the same fashion as those whom he had condemned. This arguably ended the Reign of Terror.
