Paris sections—encouraged by the enragés Jacques Roux and Jacques Hébert—take over the Convention on June 2, 1793, calling for administrative and political purges, a low fixed price for bread, and a limitation of the electoral franchise to sans-culottes alone.
With the backing of the National Guard, they persuade the Convention to arrest twenty-nine Girondist leaders, including Jacques Pierre Brissot.
