Editing Maximin Isnard (section)

== Member of the National Convention ==

Elected to the [[National Convention]] in September 1792, he was sent to the army of the North, near Nice, to justify the insurrection; he announced the take of [[Sospel]] and went back to Paris in autumn.

He voted for the death of Louis XVI in January 1793 and became a member of the [[Committee of General Security]].

The committee, consisting of 25 members, proved unwieldy, and on 4 April, Isnard presented, on behalf of the Girondist majority, the report recommending a smaller committee of nine, which two days later was established as the [[Committee of Public Safety]].
