robespierre's ideology was not strictly derived from rousseau. the writings of another enlightenment thinker of the time, baron de montesquieu, greatly influenced robespierre. one of montesquieu's writings, "the spirit of the laws", defines a core principle of a democratic government: virtue. he describes it as "the love of laws and of our country." in robespierre's speech to the national convention on 5 february 1794, "on political morality", he talks about virtue being the "fundamental principle of popular or democratic government." this was, in fact, the same virtue defined by montesquieu almost 50 years earlier. robespierre believed that the virtue needed for any democratic government was extremely lacking in the french people. as a result, he decided to weed out those he believed could never possess this virtue. the result was a continual push towards terror. the convention used this as justification for the course of action to "crush the enemies of the revolution, ... let the laws be executed, … and let liberty be saved."
