The Committee of Public Safety Predated the Committee of General Sec Ity

The committee of public safety purged the general assembly of the paris commune, so that there would be one less cess pool for factionalism to spread out from. Any one deemed insufficiently loyal to the committee was barred from taking their seats. The more prominent men of the commune were, of course, arrested and executed. In their places, new, more reliable delegates were appointed - a task handled personally by robespierre.
