The text compiles various discourses by Maximilien Robespierre, representative of the revolutionary National Assembly, who passionately advocates for civic rights, justice, and the essence of liberty during the tumultuous period of the French Revolution. The primary focus of these speeches surrounds themes of national sovereignty, the importance of direct representation, and the need for collective responsibility in establishing a just society. At the start of this collection, Robespierre addresses critical moments during the early days of the Revolution, responding to urgent social issues such as food shortages and calls for military intervention by the government. He emphasizes that any proposed solutions must not violate the freedoms already won by the people and argues against measures that favor coercion over enlightenment. He contends that effective governance must derive its authority from a foundation of popular support and must protect the rights of all citizens, particularly the most vulnerable, thus setting the stage for his later impassioned arguments for shaping the nation's laws and governance in the name of the Republic.
