The Jacobin Club was a political group during the French Revolution, founded in 1789. It was known for its radical ideas and played a significant role in advocating for democratic reforms and social equality. The club's members, called Jacobins, were influential in pushing for the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of a republic. The Jacobin Club became prominent during the Reign of Terror, a period marked by political purges and executions. Key figures, such as Maximilien Robespierre, emerged from the club, promoting policies that aimed to protect the revolution. However, the club's extreme measures eventually led to its decline and dissolution in 1794.
