Defender of the Constitution new article content ...
Background
editIn the spring of 1792 Robespierre found himself the target of political attacks of an unprecendented scale, launched primarily by Brissotin and Girondist factions of the Jacobin Club who favored war with Austria.
Although Robespierre had been elected Public Prosecutor in June of 1791 and already possessed a national audience for his views, he had stepped down from his elected position in February of 1792, and had few avenues available to him to exert an influence on public affairs.
