Jacobins: countryside, stability, urban groups, extend the revolution to the lower classes. Position on king: wanted to delay, wanted to decision execute king, the consequences of the execution of the king were that if the war was lost the revolutionaries would be tried and executed.

From there they set up a committee of public safety and a committee of general security to protect the state and make decisions. They put local governments in the hands of the jacobin"s supporters as well as take over the courts, impose price control on food, and took grain and property to feed the army and the citizens of paris. The jacobins also ordered a general conscription where all. They created a new calendar where year one was the year the republic was established.
