Robespierre: When the government violates the people’s rights, insurrection is, for the people and each portion of the people, the most sacred of rights and the most indispensable of duties. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5402


Robespierre: Offences committed by people’s representatives should be severely and promptly punished. No one has the right to claim to be more inviolable than other citizens. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5403


Robespierre: Men of all countries are brothers, and the different peoples should help one another to the best of their ability, like citizens of the same state. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5404



Robespierre: Ask that merchant in human flesh what property is. He will tell you, pointing to the long coffin that he calls a ship and in which he has herded and shackled men who still appear to be alive: “Those are my property; I bought them at so much a head.” Question that nobleman, who has lands and ships or who thinks that the world has been turned upside down since he has had none, and he will give you a similar view of property. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5405
