Execution of Louis XVI


This is no trial; Louis is not a prisoner at the bar; you are not judges; you are—you cannot but be—statesmen, and the representatives of the nation. You have not to pass sentence for or against a single man, but you have to take a resolution on a question of the public safety, and to decide a question of national foresight. It is with regret that I pronounce, the fatal truth: Louis ought to perish rather than a hundred thousand virtuous citizens; Louis must die, so that the country may live.

Jean-Paul Marat

How could you do such a thing.
You murdred me just because
I seemed like a threat to your
silly little club. The approach you took
was far to extreme.

Louis XVI

Don't do it Max! What have I done to be executed by the guillotine. Please spare me and we can make France a better place together. I won't spend a nickel more! I am begging you...

Georges Danton

I am against what you are doing to the people of France. Why would you kill so many citizens for whom we started this revolution for in the first place.
The reason we abolished monarchies was so not one person has complete power and what do you have at this moment? It is uneeded to have a dictatorship. The Reign of Terror must be stopped!
