ABSTRACT
Speaking of the guillotine, Danton challenged what was supposed to be the liberty, equality, and fraternity of the French Revolution; all idealized and without boundaries and excess by the ever-so-smug optimist in creating an internal revolution who tried to get all to ignore the cries for moderation and to limit the excesses of force centralized in blind idealism and looking at polices that are being enforced as quickly as they were being legislated in the new social order in France. In the man who lost his head, for his beliefs but not his timeless words as a man for true liberty and limits and respect for boundaries, Danton knew and passionately exclaimed these precious words before he was so brutally murdered for respecting the dignity of dissent and the humane value of being human.
