"O Liberty, how many crimes are committed in thy name!"

Madame Roland

Girondism is an economically economically liberal, civically right-unity, and a culturally right-wing ideology. He's against the French monarchy and supported the French Revolution, but only during it's earlier stages. Additionally, Girondism believes that democracy should be reformed and that secularism is the way to go. He also seems to oppose authoritarianism.

History

The Girondins were an influential political faction during the French Revolution, consisting mainly of the intelligentsia and bourgeoisie. They advocated a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary rule while preserving economic and religious freedoms. Although some Girondins participated in the Jacobin club, they often opposed the more radical Montagnards.

The Girondists initially advocated a constitutional monarchy and limiting the role of the king to representative functions. As a result of the support they enjoyed among the population, due to their popularity and parliamentary strength, they effectively led the government in early 1792, though they still favored limiting the king’s role to ceremonial functions. They were ardent supporters of spreading the revolution throughout Europe, and because of them, France declared war on Austria on April 20, 1792, initiating a long period of wars with successive coalitions. Although initially supporting a constitutional monarchy, after the king’s attempted escape and increasing radicalization of the revolution, they shifted towards supporting a republic.

In the new republican reality, Girondins maintained the influence on power and were blamed for defeats in wars and difficult economic situation. The Girondins were especially hated by the sans-culottes, which led to the destruction of the party. The leading representatives of Gironde were arrested, sentenced to death and guillotined. The party ceased to exist, but its surviving representatives took part in the Thermidorian coup.

Beliefs

Influenced by classical liberalism and the concepts of democracy, human rights and Montesquieu's separation of powers, the Girondins were republicans, Like the Jacobins, they were also influenced by the writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

In its early times of government, the Gironde supported a free market – opposing price controls on goods (e.g., a 1793 maximum on grain prices), supported by a constitutional right to public assistance for the poor and public education.

The Girondins were also one of the first supporters of abolitionism in France with Brissot leading the anti-slavery Society of the Friends of the Blacks.[44] Certain Girondins such as Condorcet supported women's suffrage and political equality.

In the National Legislative Assembly , the Girondists supported an aggressive foreign policy based on the principles of democratic revolution based on patriotic fervor against the European powers. Their leader, Brissot, proposed an ambitious military plan to the National Assembly to spread revolutionary ideas, which was later realized by Napoleon. He called for the goals that the National Convention had achieved in 1795 - control of Western Europe through the conquest of lands on both sides of the Rhine in western Germany , the establishment of independent Poland and the Netherlands, and the establishment of a pro-revolutionary government by bringing Britain, Spain, and Italy into the Republican sphere of influence. The Girondists asked the Assembly to declare war on Austria, believing that this would arouse revolutionary consciousness among patriots and liberate the oppressed people from the monarchy, while also testing King Louis XVI's loyalty to the monarchy by declaring war. Thus, in 1792 and 1793, the Girondins were active advocates of war in the National Legislative Assembly .
