Answer:
The guillotine was a device
consisting of two poles and a blade with which a person was beheaded. It was
used by Robespierre, who followed a policy of 'Reign to Terror' i.e., of severe
control and punishment.
Those who did not agree with his
methods were arrested, imprisoned and then tried by a revolutionary tribunal.
If the court found them 'guilty', they were guillotined. It was named after Dr Guillotin
who invented it. Finally Robespierre himself was
guillotined. (3)
