Aristides Recalled In Debate On Ministers And Public Good
In a heated session the Convention debated replacing Ministers with a forced invitation, citing Ashabeau’s warning that personal interest must not override the public good. Figures like Gambon and Danton argued about indispensability and leadership, while references to Aristides recalled how Athenians chose just rulers in crisis. The Assembly decreed no room to deliberate on Servan and Redeavdd, and a Constitutional Committee of nine was formed to draft a plan with two months between distribution and discussion.
