Who was the leading figure during the Reign of Terror?
Maximilien de Robespierre was an early proponent of political democracy.

These ideas and the repressive methods used to implement and defend them, which came to be called the Reign of Terror, and his role as spokesman for this radical and violent phase of the French Revolution also won for him the opprobrium of conservative opponents of the Revolution ever since.
