The committee of public safety was given broad powers to do arrest and execute anyone who was thought to be an enemy to the people of France. The committee serves as the de facto executive branch of the government.
This is the political body of the French Revolution that controlled France during the Reign of Terror. The Committee of Public Safety was set up in April 1793 to defend France against its enemies, foreign and domestic.
The Committee of Public Safety was started by Robespierre and revolutionary leaders in an effort to overthrow the government and retain national security. The Committee gained 14 armies and got many provisions. What is ironic is that the Committee of Public Safety, under Robespierre's now dictatorship, started the "Reign of Terror" where all anti-revolutionaries were killed by the guillotine. So the Committee of Public Safety, in turn, killed over 20,000 people.
