Thermidor and the French Revolution.

A Self-Defining “Bourgeoisie” in the Early French Revolution: The Milice Bourgeoise, the Bastille Days of 1789, and Their Aftermath.

A Second Terror: The Purges of French Revolutionary Legislators after Thermidor.

French revolutionary legislators faced assassins, violent insurrections, and the risk of being injured or killed while on mission. Statistically, however, the most dangerous place for them was their own legislative assembly. As full-scale parliamentary warfare erupted between different political "factions" in the founding year of the republic, the safeguards of parliamentary immunity were removed and hundreds of legislators were purged.
