- Sans-Culottes
- Important to the revolution. Dominated Paris and the Paris Commune. Wanted more extreme measures than the LA, such as food price controls and the vote. Price rises and food shortages triggered riots in 92 and made them more militant.
- The overthrow of the monarchy
- Other events of 92- the war propaganda of the Girondins, the military defeats, Louis and his veto, his dismissal of Brissot, and Lafayette's call for the end of Jacobins- all added to this militancy.
- Journee of June 20th, thousands of SC occupy the royal palace, the Tuiliers, forcing Louis to wear the ered cap of liberty.
- Journee of August 10th the Tuiliers was attatcked and the defenders (swiss soiolders) were defeated. Royals took refuge in the LA, deputies were then forced to hand over Louis and to agree to a new election, by universal sufferage, of a National Convention that was to create a republic.
- In July, following the decree of a state emergency, National Guards (federes) began to arrive in Paris, joining calls for the end of monarchy. Prussia's army commander threatened to destroy Paris in the Brunswick Manifesto if the royals were harmed.
- Federes: provincial NG.
- It was not clear who actively organised this but it included Robespierre and Danton.
