Correct:
C
Explanation
The Reign of Terror (September 1793 – July 1794) was a period of extreme violence during the French Revolution, following the establishment of the First French Republic. It was led by the Committee of Public Safety, most notably by Maximilien Robespierre.
- The Revolutionary Tribunal: This was a specialized court established to try those suspected of being "enemies of the revolution" or counter-revolutionaries.
- Systematic Executions: The period was characterized by the mass arrest and execution of thousands of individuals. The guillotine became the primary instrument for beheading those deemed threats to the republic, including aristocrats, priests, and even fellow revolutionaries.
- Legal Basis: The 'Law of Suspects' allowed for the detention of anyone whose conduct, relations, or remarks suggested they were supporters of tyranny or federalism.
Therefore, Option C is correct as it accurately identifies the institutionalized trial and execution process that defined this era.
