Do you think that the laws of the revolutionary tribunal were in line with the principles of the French Revolution?

Sagot :

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

No, I don't think that the laws of the Revolutionary Tribunal were in line with the principles of the French Revolution.

The principles of the French Revolution were "liberty, equality, and fraternity." And the laws of the Revolutionary Tribunal were at least its enforcement, brutal or excessive.

What I mean here is that you cannot combat force using more force. Or in simpler terms, the punishment in many cases was harsher than the crime itself. And that produces more violence.

Let's have in mind that the Revolutionary Tribunal was created by the National Convention in the times of the French Revolution. It was located in the city of Paris, France. Its main purpose, to judge and trial offenders and this made the tribunal be a "cornerstone" of the so-called Reign or Terror.
