"During the French Revolution, mod\u00E9rantisme or the faction des mod\u00E9r\u00E9s (faction of the moderates) was the name given to the Girondists and then to the Dantonistes by the Montagnards. Mod\u00E9rantisme was denounced before the Jacobin and the Cordeliers Clubs, who then led the first attacks on it in 1794.Jacobin and Cordelier orators soon demanded that the guillotine be used against those they saw as trying to stop the Revolution."@en .
