In what double meaning can the symbolic importance of the guillotine be understood?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Revolutionary justice and public punishment

The guillotine symbolised revolutionary justice because even King Louis XVI could be executed under the law. At the same time, public executions made it a symbol of severe punishment and terror. It did not represent the restoration of monarchy; the Revolution abolished monarchy and established a republic. Exam tip: Remember the guillotine as a symbol of both ‘justice’ and ‘terror’.
