Insurrection Of 1 Prairial An III
The Revolt of 1 Prairial Year III (20 May 1795) was the final major popular uprising of the French Revolution. Sans-culottes from eastern Paris marched on the National Convention demanding "''du pain et la Constitution de l’An I''" — bread and enforcement of the radical Constitution of Year I. They briefly occupied the hall, murdered deputy Jean-Bertrand Féraud, and called for renewed price controls and direct democracy. Loyal National Guard units cleared the Convention by nightfall. A second mobilization on 2 Prairial collapsed, and by 4 Prairial the faubourgs were disarmed. Fourteen deputies were ordered arrested; eight were seized. Six deputies were condemned to death. Romme, Goujon, and Duquesnoy committed suicide, while the others were guillotined.

9 Thermidor
Maximilien Robespierre addressed the National Convention on 26 July 1794, was arrested the next day, and executed on 28 July. In his speech on 26 July, Robespierre spoke of the existence of internal enemies, conspirators, and calumniators, within the Convention and the governing Committees. He refused to name them, which alarmed the deputies who feared Robespierre was preparing another purge of the Convention, similar to previous ones during the Reign of Terror. On the following day, this tension in the Convention allowed Jean-Lambert Tallien, one of the conspirators whom Robespierre had in mind in his denunciation, to turn the Convention against Robespierre and decree his arrest. By the end of 28 July Robespierre was executed by guillotine in the Place de la Révolution. Robespierre's fall led to more moderate policies being implemented during the subsequent Thermidorian Reaction.
