Hébertists:
>The Hébertists, led by Jacques Hébert, promoted radical policies, including de-Christianization and social reforms. They were viewed by Robespierre as too extreme and a threat to the stability and unity of the Revolution.
>Robespierre feared the Hébertists were gaining control over the sans-culottes (the radical grassroots supporters of the Revolution) and could potentially challenge his authority.
>The Hébertists criticized Robespierre's Committee of Public Safety for its moderation, leading to a power struggle between the two groups.
Indulgents:
>The Indulgents, a more moderate faction, wanted to end the Terror and institute a more merciful approach. They were considered overly lenient and counter-revolutionary by Robespierre.
>Robespierre, who believed that strong measures were necessary to protect the Revolution, saw them as a threat to the revolutionary fervor.
>Their call for an end to the Terror could undermine the power and authority of the Committee of Public Safety, led by Robespierre, which was responsible for carrying out the Reign of Terror.
By eliminating both groups, Robespierre aimed to consolidate his power and promote his vision of a strong, centralized republic based on virtue, equality, and revolutionary justice.
