Answer:

Anti-revolutionary uprisings, the presence of enemy aries on French soil, and economic problems led to a sense of national emergency. As a result, the Assembly then appointed the Committee of Public Safety led by Maximilien Robespierre. Thus the Reign of Terror began. The aim of the movement was to impose revolutionary principles by force, leading to the execution of more that 40,000 people. Also, the principle of conscription was introduced, and it proved successful against many enemies, and even helped them gain some land in the Austrian Netherlands. The Reign of Terror Ended when Robespierre was ousted and executed by the guillotine. I think the Reign of Terror went on for so long because it held promise in the eyes of the peasants and revolutionaries. Many hated royals were executed, as well as those who did not support the revolution. This just fueled the fire that drove the Committee, and they continued their ways until the leader was overthrown. It also lasted for so long because they were continuously growing in number, so anyone who stood against them would be outnumbered and executed as a result.

The events above all played a role in unraveling of the relationship between the colonists and great britain.Which event do you
Rom4ik [11]

Before the act of emancipation was approved in July 1776, the Thirteen Colonies and the Kingdom of Great Britain had been at war for more than a year. Relations between the two had deteriorated since 1763. The British Parliament enacted a series of measures to increase taxes in the colonies, such as the Stamp Act of 1765 and the Townshend Act of 1767. The Legislative Body considered that these regulations were a legitimate means for the colonies to pay a fair share for the costs of keeping them in the British Empire.

However, many settlers had developed a different concept of the empire. The colonies were not directly represented in the Parliament and the settlers argued that this legislative body had no right to assign taxes. This fiscal dispute was part of a greater divergence between the British and American interpretations of the Constitution of Great Britain and the scope of Parliament's authority in the colonies. The orthodox view of the British - dating back to the Glorious Revolution of 1688 - argued that Parliament had supreme authority throughout the empire and, by extension, everything that Parliament did was constitutional. However, in the colonies the idea had developed that the British Constitution recognized certain fundamental rights that the government could not violate, not even Parliament. After the laws of Townshend, some essayists even began to question whether the Parliament had any legitimate jurisdiction in the colonies. Anticipating the creation of the Commonwealth of Nations, in 1774 the American literati - among them Samuel Adams, James Wilson and Thomas Jefferson - discussed whether the authority of Parliament was limited only to Great Britain and that the colonies -which had their own legislatures- they should relate to the rest of the empire solely because of their loyalty to the Crown.
