The [[File:Jacobin.png]] '''Jacobins''' got their name from the fact that their club, the Breton Club, and later the [[Constitutionalism|Society of Friends of the Constitution]], met in the convent of the Dominicans, or [[File:Jacobin.png]] '''Jacobins''', on Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris. Formed by men from the urban petty bourgeoisie, the [[File:Jacobin.png]] '''Jacobins''' were recognized in history mainly for their [[File:Republicanismpix.png]] [[Republicanism|radical republicanism]] and also for the [[File:Unitary.png]] [[Centralism|centralizing]] role played by the State in the [[File:InfRevolutionaryism.png]] revolutionary process.

At first, the [[File:Jacobin.png]] '''Jacobins''' were just members of a [[File:Freemason_.png]] Masonic club called the [[File:Jacobin.png]] '''Jacobin Club''' – which, in turn, had such a name because it was located in the Convent of São Tiago (in the original French, Jacques or Jacob). Some nobles and several rich bourgeois belonged to the group; among these were important characters for the Revolution that would soon take place, such as [[File:Conmon.png]] [[Girondism|Jacques-Pierre Brissot]], who would lead the [[File:Girondi.png]] [[Girondism|Girondin faction]], and [[File:MaximilienRobespierre.png]] Maximilien Robespierre, who would lead the [[File:Jack.png]] '''Jacobins'''.

*[[File:Republicanismpix.png]][[Republicanism|'''Republicanism:''']] The [[File:Jacobin.png]] '''Jacobins''' were staunch proponents of [[File:Republicanismpix.png]] [[Republicanism|republicanism]], advocating for the overthrow of the [[File:Monarch.png]] [[Monarchism|monarchy]] and the establishment of a [[File:Dem.png]] [[Democracy|democratic republic]]. They believed in the sovereignty of the people and the elimination of hereditary privilege.

*[[File:Ochlo.png]] '''Popular Sovereignty:''' The [[File:Jacobin.png]] '''Jacobins''' emphasized the concept of [[File:Ochlo.png]] [[Ochlocracy|popular sovereignty]], asserting that political power should reside with the citizens and be exercised through representative institutions. They sought to empower the masses and ensure their active participation in political decision-making.

*[[File:Equality.png]] '''Equality:''' The [[File:Jacobin.png]] '''Jacobins''' advocated for [[File:Equality.png]] social equality and the abolition of social hierarchies. They rejected the privileges of the nobility and sought to create a more [[File:Equality.png]] egalitarian society based on merit and civic virtue.

*[[File:Liberty.png]] '''Liberty:''' The [[File:Jacobin.png]] '''Jacobins''' placed great importance on individual and political liberties. They championed freedom of speech, press, and association, seeking to protect these rights as essential elements of a democratic society.

*[[File:Enlightenment.png]] '''Virtue and Civic Duty:''' The [[File:Jacobin.png]] '''Jacobins''' believed in the cultivation of virtue and the fulfillment of civic duties as essential components of active citizenship. They promoted civic education and moral values as a means to create an engaged and responsible citizenry.

*[[File:Unitary.png]] '''Centralization of Power:''' The [[File:Jacobin.png]] '''Jacobins''' supported a strong central government and centralization of power. They believed that a unified and centralized state was necessary to implement their reforms and defend the republic against counter-revolutionary forces.

*[[File:InfRevolutionaryism.png]] '''Revolutionary Justice:''' The [[File:Jacobin.png]] '''Jacobins''' implemented a policy of revolutionary justice, aiming to safeguard the revolution and punish its enemies. They established the Committee of Public Safety and conducted trials and executions of perceived counter-revolutionaries, which led to a period known as the Reign of Terror.

*[[File:Nation.png]] '''Nationalism:''' The [[File:Jacobin.png]] '''Jacobins''' promoted a strong sense of [[File:Nation.png]] [[Nationalism|nationalism]], emphasizing the unity and sovereignty of the French nation. They sought to spread their revolutionary ideals beyond French borders, encouraging the export of the revolution and supporting nationalist uprisings in other countries.

*[[File:Secular.png]] '''Secularism:''' The [[File:Jacobin.png]] '''Jacobins''' advocated for the separation of church and state. They sought to limit the influence of religion in political affairs and replace traditional religious practices with a more rational and secular civic cult.

*[[File:InfRevolutionaryism.png]] '''Revolutionary Internationalism:''' While primarily focused on the French Revolution, the [[File:Jacobin.png]] '''Jacobins''' supported the idea of international solidarity among revolutionary movements. They envisioned a global struggle against monarchies and aristocracies, advocating for the spread of revolutionary principles throughout Europe and beyond.
