read the quote by maximilien de robespierre.
terror is nothing other than justice, prompt, severe, inflexible.
how does the quote best apply to the committee of public safety under robespierres leadership?

the committee of public safety meted out justice fairly and evenly.
the committee of public safety forcefully eliminated all opposition.
During the Reign of Terror led by the Committee of Public Safety under Robespierre, the focus was on eliminating perceived enemies of the revolution. The quote emphasizes "prompt, severe, inflexible" justice. The Committee used extreme measures (like the guillotine) to forcefully remove opposition. It was not about fair trials (trials were often hasty and not fair in the traditional sense), nor was it that well - behaved citizens had no fear (as suspicion was widespread).
