On Saint-Just

Abstract

Louis Antoine Saint Just was a famous politician in the Great French Revolution,and a yongest representative in the National Public Assembly.After he entered the revolutionary leading organ——the Saving the Nation Committee, he became a forceful assistant of Maximilien de Robespierre.He participated in drawing up of the 1793 Constitution and claimed to rule the country by the revolutionary torror policy.He also put forward a decree ″Wind Month″ to expand the revolution to the economic field,and he was for several times appointed by the Committee as a special commissioner to go down to the Army and local areas to supervise and implement the policy.Before the Hot Month coup detat,he demanded the end of the torror policy,the result of which caused a disagreement with Robespierre,which illustrates that he was soberer than Robespierre.
