Answer:

a. Jacobins

Step-by-step explanation:

The Jacobins (in French, jacobins) were the members of the political group of the French Revolution called Club de los Jacobininos, whose headquarters were in Paris, in the convent of the Dominican friars (popularly known as Jacobin friars) of the Rue Saint- Honoré. They were republicans, defenders of popular sovereignty, therefore they advocated universal suffrage; their vision of the indivisibility of the nation led them to defend a strong and centralized state. They are often confused with The Terror, partly due to the black legend that disclosed the Thermidorian reaction on Robespierre. In the 19th century, Jacobinism was the source of inspiration for the republican parties that promoted the Second and Third French Republics. In contemporary France, this term was associated with a centralist conception of the Republic.
