General Maximum
The Law of the General Maximum () was instituted during the French Revolution on 29 September 1793, setting price limits and punishing price gouging to attempt to ensure the continued supply of food to the French capital. It was enacted as an extension of the Law of Suspects of 17 September, and succeeded the Law of the Maximum of 4 May 1793, which served a similar purpose. Background Competing theories exist as to the causes of the conditions the General Maximum was intended to ameliorate.
