Trial of former king debated: King treated as public enemy

de Saint-Just, Louis-Antoine · Paris · Montagnard deputy

Saint-Just argued that Louis XVI ought to be treated as an enemy of the people rather than an ordinary litigant. His speech rejected the notion that royal inviolability survived the overthrow of monarchy.
