The 1968 Democratic National Convention remains an important event in the nation's cultural and political history. The disruptive politics of the convention, brought about by the Vietnam War policies of President Johnson, prompted the Democratic Party to entirely refit its rules for selecting presidential delegates -- opening up the political process to millions. “The violence between police and anti-Vietnam war protesters in the streets and parks of Chicago gave the city a black-eye from which it
leadership inspired the elimination of monarchy in France and the introduction of a republic as seen from his duties in the National Convention, Committee of Public Safety and his role during the Reign of Terror. First, Georges-Jacques Danton's significant leadership during the French Revolution was highlighted by his efforts to partake in the National Convention. The National Convention was similar to our modern Congress, and it passed bills and undertook the same responsibilities as our Congress. One
with it's depictions in painting and sculpture and how the Revolution was the beginning of a new age pales to some of the events during this period. In fact, the storming of the Bastille was merely a hole in the dike, and more would follow. The National Guard, the Paris Commune, the September Massacre, are all words that the French would prefer us not to hear. These events were a subtle dénouementto an climax that was filled with both blood and pain. The Reign of Terror, or the Great Terror,
threat had been taken care of it became increasingly difficult for Robespierre to rationalize his use of terror to bring about a supposed Republic of Virtue. In his speech, the “Justification of the use of Terror” which he presented to the National Convention, he attempted to defend the actions of the Terror one last time. Unfortunately it appeared that Robespierre was going to become the very type of tyrant that he had strived to abolish along with the French Monarchy at the beginning of the Revolution

Revolution at its height" This was the country the Committee of Public Safety ("The committee"), inherited and it was announced their mission by the Convention, to "create a viable (republican) state amid political turmoil" , by means of intimidation and ultimately terror, indeed the proclamation of "terror as the order of the day" so as to establish a peaceful, stable government for the introduction of
The Radical Period of The French Revolution By the end of 1971, Europe was preparing to witness the end of a seemingly triumphant revolution in France. The country was restructuring its government in a forceful and bloodless manner, while the tyrant King Louis the XVI agreed to the demands of the masses (albeit without much choice). However, due to the fanatical aspirations of men such as Danton, Marat and Robespierre,it would be only a matter of months before the moderate stage of social
On July 13, 1793, Jean Paul Marat, an important leader during the French revolution, was assassinated in his bathing-tub. Marat began as a writer on politics and grew to be a violent radical leader. A young woman, Charlotte Corday, assassinated Marat for all the death and destruction he had caused. Marat was honorably laid to rest, and the political parties of the revolution began to fall. Corday murdered Marat in good intentions and her courageous act saved hundreds of people. Marat, a determined

Their exclusion from the industrializing society, and their lagging in developments set them back from the rest of the country. Through their hardships they found a way to come together and form a political movement that would represent their rights and needs and give them a voice in the political decision making; it was called the Populist movement. However, the formation
Louise Saint-Just and The Republic Louise Saint-Just once said, “The Republic consists of the extermination of everything that opposes it.” Being the right-hand man of Robespierre, the leader of the Terror, Saint-Just is obviously referring to the First Republic of France from 1792-1795.

Week 5: 1968 Democratic National Convention 1968 was a year of loss. The world lost one of the greats, Dr. Martin Luther King in April of 1968.

Democratic national convention that drew cheers, left a few delegates transparently sobbing and accomplished more than any representative or congressman to join together and start up the gathering for November's presidential decision.
