The Revolutionary Tribunal was a court created to handle the trials of French political offenders. Its use was quickly abused, particularly by Maximillian Francois Marie Isidore de Robespierre, who used it to condemn his advisories to death.

The most common sentence given by the revolutionary tribunal during the French Revolution was death by guillotine. This punishment was frequently applied to those accused of counter-revolutionary activities or deemed enemies of the state. The tribunal operated under a climate of fear and urgency, leading to thousands of executions in a short period, particularly during the Reign of Terror from 1793 to 1794.
During the French Revolution, individuals who were perceived as counter-revolutionaries or enemies of the state faced the risk of being tried by the Revolutionary Tribunal. This included former nobles, political opponents, and anyone suspected of disloyalty to the revolutionary ideals. The Tribunal was particularly active during the Reign of Terror, where accusations could lead to swift trials and executions. Notable figures such as King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were among those tried and sentenced to death during this period.
