Jean Nicolas Pache would be the first to submit a petition to the National Convention on April 15th 1793 for the totemic 22 Girondist leaders to be removed from office. Although he was scoffed at, the Commune would publish a petition for the removal of the same 22 Girondins, reinforced with 12,000 signatures, and submit it to the Convention on April 18th. The petition would again be scoffed at by a Convention led by Girondins. However, Pache and Chaumette would lead a march on the Convention on May 31st. Pierre Gaspard Chamette ( 1763 - April 13, 1794) was a French politician of the Revolutionary period.

Impact

Jean Nicholas Pache may not have single handedly brought down the Girondin, but his determination played an important role. The Girondists (in French Girondins, and sometimes Brissotins or "Baguettes" were a political faction in France within the Legislative Pache was a key player in changing the political scene in Paris in this time.

Pache also helped to truly give power to the people of Paris. The people of Paris had successfully humiliated the Convention in forcing it to do their bidding and the Convention would not recover this lost power until the Thermidorian Reaction shattered the power of the Jacobin Clubs and sans culottes. The Thermidorian Reaction was a revolt in the French Revolution against the excesses of the Reign of Terror. The people of Paris would not forget this and the legacy of "the people in arms" would have a long-term impact on the French revolutionary tradition, in the readiness of the Parisian population to "rush to the barricades," through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
