What was the role of the terror in the french revolution?

Answer 1

If you are talking about Reign of Terror, it was a period of time where the anti-government party wanted to rid France of any pro-government parties. During the French Revolution, the bourgeouisie, or middle class, had no voice in political decisions, even though they accounted for 97% of all French people at that time. The Reign of Terror was so fierce that those who were even thought to disagree with the overthrow of the monarch were sent to the guillotine, regardless of whether they were innicent or not. Although there is no exact number of deaths, most estimates i have heard average to about 55 executions per day.
