- ️Tue Sep 01 1998
Jacobin Club The most famous of the political clubs of the FRENCH REVOLUTION. It had its origins in the Club Breton which was established after the opening of the STATES-GENERAL in 1789, and acquired its new name from its headquarters in an old Jacobin (Dominican) monastery in Paris. Its membership grew steadily and its carefully prepared policies had great influence in the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. By August 1791 it had numerous affiliated clubs and branches throughout the country. Its high subscription confined its membership to professional men who, at first, were not distinguished by extreme views. By 1792, however, ROBESPIERRE had seized control and the moderates were expelled. The club became the focus of the REIGN OF TERROR the following year, and in June was instrumental in the overthrow of the GIRONDINS. Its success was based on sound organization and the support of the SANS-CULOTTES. It was closed after the fall of Robespierre and several attempts to reopen it were finally suppressed in 1799.
