After removal of the Girondins, the Highlanders dominated the Assembly. Since August 23, the Jacobins are circulating a petition demanding exceptional measures against the suspects, and making the agenda of the Terror. On September 4, sans-culottes demanded bread in front of City Hall. Chaumette and Hebert guide the event to the Convention. On September 5, the Convention places the Terror to the agenda. Pressure from citizens is a step further ahead, but the Convention states that it is to be from the national movements, and it provides the direction for movements. The execution of Louis XVI showed the threat posed by the French. England is now at the forefront since the events in Paris interfere in internal political struggles, prompting the sympathy of the Whigs.
