Editing Maximin Isnard (section)

== Legislative Assembly ==

Isnard was quickly a revolutionary in accepting "new ideas" at the beginning of the Revolution, in 1789–1790.

On 9 September 1791, he was elected member of [[National Legislative Assembly (France)|Legislative Assembly]] by the department of [[Var (department)|Var]], in southeastern of France (district of [[Draguignan]].

Isnard was linked to [[Brissot]] and sat at the left of the Assembly. He was very violent in his talks.  For example, in his opinion, the French State had to deport all priests who have not accepted the Revolution.

He supported the "brissotins" who wanted a war against foreign countries, in order to strengthen Revolution.

Attacking the court, and the Austrian committee in the Tuileries, he demanded the disbandment of the king's bodyguard, and reproached [[Louis XVI of France|Louis XVI]] for infidelity to the constitution. But on 20 June 1792, when the crowd invaded the palace, he was one of the deputies who went to place themselves beside the king to protect him.
