Question

6 multiple choice 1 point why were guillotine executions considered a symbol of the french revolution by jacobins? guillotines were cheap to build, which helped the poor. guillotines were hard to destroy, showing that the revolution would never end. guillotine deaths were painful and punished nobles. guillotines killed everyone equally.

Explanation:

The Jacobins framed the guillotine as a symbol of revolutionary equality. Unlike previous execution methods that were harsher for the lower classes and more "privileged" for nobles, the guillotine was presented as a device that applied the same death to all people, regardless of social status, aligning with the revolution's ideals of equality. The other options are incorrect: the guillotine's cost did not make it a symbol, it was not tied to the revolution's "permanence," and it was designed to be a quick, not painful, execution method.

Answer:

Guillotines killed everyone equally.
