Question

why did jacobins such as maximilien de robespierre argue that frances king and queen needed to be executed? a. to demonstrate that only jacobins should be allowed to serve as kings b. to protect the political changes made during the french revolution c. to frighten monarchs in european countries that france was about to invade d. to seek revenge on the royal family for attacking the bastille

Explanation:

The Jacobins, led by Robespierre, viewed the royal family as a threat to the revolutionary reforms and the establishment of a republican government. Executing the king and queen was seen as a way to eliminate a symbol of the old monarchy and prevent counter-revolutionary efforts that would undo the changes of the French Revolution. The other options are incorrect: the Jacobins did not seek to install their own members as kings, France was not invading other European powers at this stage for this purpose, and the royal family did not attack the Bastille.

Answer:

B. To protect the political changes made during the French Revolution
