Speech given February 5, 1794
French people are fighting for the enjoyment of liberty, equality, and a reign of eternal justice
All people will desire to serve their great nation (Patriotism)
France will become a model for all other nations to follow
-Only a democratic or republican government can accomplish these goals
-people MUST be sovereign rather than corrupt kings and nobles
To accomplish this, France must first fight a war of liberty against tyranny
-The Terror
Laws will be the natural laws of man and of nature
-All vices lead to monarchy
France will be driven by virtue and terror
-Virtue without terror is destructive
-Terror without virtue is impotent
LIBERTY OF FRANCE MUST COME FIRST
