The Jacobin Club.
Robespierre was a leader of "les montagnards", a hard-line group in the French assembly. "les montagnards" (the mountaineers) were named such because they occupied the upper seats in the assembly room.
It was a very difficult group to admire but very few criticised their efforts. They operated the Reign of Terror and were the custodians of the National Razor.

Robespierre was one of the leaders of the French Revolution. The revolt began in 1789 and gave rise to a group of radicals called Jacobins. Robespierre was a member of this group and it can be said that he was a political philosopher. His core beliefs, and those of the Jacobins, was that they placed themselves as the leaders of the poor working classes of the cities in France. These people had no representation until the Jacobins saw their need for a say in French politics. The Jacobins were opposed to a monarchy and the bourgeoisie. They sought a republic dominated by the working classes.
