About this episode
Clash of the Jacobin Giants! Eager to entrench his leadership of the ultra-radical movement, Hébert goes on the attack. Denouncing Danton and Montagnard moderates, the Hébertists also clash with Robespierre. With power struggles erupting over the Constitution and the Committee of Public Safety, the fracturing of the Mountain had begun!
This episode explores efforts to refresh the Committee of Public Safety in July 1793, the factional feud between Hébert and Danton, and the attempt of Hébertists to implement the Constitution of 1793.
