WHAT DOES JACOBIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Jacobin

Jacobin

The Society of the Friends of the Constitution, commonly known as the Jacobin Club was the most famous and influential political club in the development of the French Revolution. There were at least 7,000 chapters throughout France, with a membership estimated at a half million or more. At their height in 1793-94, the club leaders were the most radical and egalitarian group in the Revolution. Led by Maximilien de Robespierre, they controlled the government from June 1793 to July 1794, passed a great deal of radical legislation, and hunted down and executed their opponents in the Reign of Terror. After the fall of Robespierre, a more conservative reaction took place. The club was closed and many of its leaders were executed. To this day, the terms Jacobin and Jacobinism are used by moderates and conservatives as pejoratives for radical, left-wing revolutionary politics, especially when it exhibits dogmatism and violent repression.
