The Girondins, from the countryside of France, sat on the LEFT (left wing) They believed in free trade, an end to tariffs, and the monarchy. In addition, they wanted to spread the war BEYOND France's borders to "liberate" the other kingdoms of Europe. (Notice i say "kingdoms" and not nations. Nations' sovereign r the people. Kings were the sovereigns of "kingdoms.) Free trade, laissez faire capitalism,speech, etc throughout Europe. REVOLUTION! They were NOT keen on what they believed to be the Jacobin attempt to CENTRALIZE the revolution in Paris. They were in favor of a "federal" system. That is ....SHARING power between the Departments AND the central govt, Paris. The Jacobins, ALSO on the left wing (they sat at the top, the "mountain" the montanards") They want to CENTRALIZE authority in Paris. They are AGAINST the war! Robespierre fears they'll lose and LOSE the Revolution. Work on enlightenment ideals if France...for example, give the right of citizenship to ALL males. The right to vote, participate in THEIR govt. Being that the Jacobins sided w the Sans Culotte and the other working class who were greatly effected by the RISING price of bread(Free market! HIGH demand, LOW supply!) They'll support a Law of Maximum on bread. The GOVT should serve to REGULATE the economy in an effort to help those who are struggling by limiting the price of bread. Soon....the Church will be banned in France. The Cult of the Supreme Being....DEVOTION TO REASON! Not to a god or God. Reason is the NEW religion! It was meant to unite France. The weeks will become ten day weeks. The months, named after seasonal changes.
