Jacobinism / General-Will Republicanism, as stated, 1792-1794
Early Modern · stated scope
Jacobinism, also called General-Will Republicanism, is a political ideology originating within the Jacobin Club of Revolutionary France that centers on popular sovereignty expressed through a unified general will, the subordination of individual interests to the collective, and the use of state power to enforce republican virtue. It developed between approximately 1789 and 1794 in France, reaching its most concentrated institutional expression during the period of the Committee of Public Safety under the National Convention. It is principally associated with the theoretical framework drawn from Rousseau's concept of the general will and with the political program of Maximilien Robespierre and the Montagnard faction.
