Question

The revolutionary government saw enemies of the Revolution everywhere. It passed laws that allowed it to arrest citizens on very little evidence. Soon, no one felt safe. Thousands of innocent prisoners were executed-some nobles, some priests, and some the ordinary "commoners" of France.

Answer 2

A) True

Step-by-step explanation:

The so-called Law of Great Terror was adapted, by which anyone could be accused of working or speaking against the authorities or the Revolution (great for resolving misunderstandings with a hateful neighbor), and France was turned into a real slaughterhouse, and around 70 - 80 people were executed on a daily basis. Over the course of the Great Terror, around 400,000 people ended up in prisons, killing almost 50,000 of them.

It is logical that the first victims of the guillotine were members of the aristocracy, but over time anyone could end up on the guillotine because of the wrong step, wrong words or wrong views.
