"Robespierre was elected to the States-General of 1789, and his influence in the Jacobin Club grew steadily until he became its leader (see [|Jacobins]). In the National Constituent Assembly (June, 1789–Sept., 1791), he unsuccessfully championed democratic elections and successfully backed the law that made members of the Constituent Assembly ineligible to sit in the Legislative Assembly, which succeeded it. In the spring of 1792 Robespierre opposed the war proposals of the [|Girondists], and his opposition made him lose popularity. This was only temporary, however, and he was elected to the insurrectionary [|Commune of Paris] set up on Aug. 10, 1792. As a deputy from Paris in the National Convention, he played an important part in the struggle for power between the Girondists and the [|Mountain], as the Jacobins in the assembly were known. He demanded the execution of the king and was instrumental in finally purging (May–June, 1793) the Girondists."[|quote]
