The '''Cordeliers Club''' was a political movement in revolutionary France that was formed in April 1790. Even more radical than the [[Jacobins]] it garnered considerable support from the Parisien ''sans-culottes''. They supported direct democracy and the right of insurrection if a government acted against popular wish. Many of these rights that they supported came directly from the [[United States Constitution]], as did many ideas that were paraded during the early stages of the [[French Revolution]]. Notable members include [[Georges Danton]], [[Camille Desmoulins]], [[Jacques-Rene Hebert]] and [[Jean-Paul Marat]]. | The '''Cordeliers Club''' was a political movement in revolutionary France that was formed in April 1790.
