The Jacobin Club

The jacobin club was led by the soon to be major revolutionary figure, george danton. By august 17 90, there were fully 12 hundred members in the paris club and a hundred and 50 affiliate clubs scattered across france. The defection of so many liberal nobles paved the way for speeches and pamphlets promoting universal education,. equal rights before the law... even hinting around the idea that maybe france ought to be a republic.
