Who was the leading figure during the Reign of Terror?

Answer 1

Maximilien de Robespierre was an early proponent of political democracy. His advanced ideas concerning the application of the revolutionary principle of equality won for him the fervent support of the lower middle and working classes (the sans-culottes) and a firm place later in the 19th century in the pantheon of European radical and revolutionary heroes. These ideas and the repressive methods used to implement and defend them, which came to be called the Reign of Terror, and his role as spokesman for this radical and violent phase of the French Revolution also won for him the opprobrium of conservative opponents of the Revolution ever since.

Answer 2

The Reign of Terror was used as a way to eradicate the "enemies of the revolution."

Maximilien Robespierre is generally named as the leader of the Reign of Terror.
