The guillotine was a device used to decapitate people, or cut off their heads. The Jacobins used it to execute people who spoke against them. The unlucky person stuck his or her head underneath the blade, and then the executioner let the blade drop down quickly on the neck. Even though the death machine was terrifying and deadly, the guillotine was actually inspired by the Enlightenment. Compared to older execution techniques, such as hanging, burning or the using the breaking wheel, people in revolutionary France considered the guillotine to be a gentler, more humane way to execute people. Either way, people were still killing other people.
King Louis XVI, his wife, Marie Antoinette, and thousands of others who crossed Robespierre met their fate under the blade of guillotine. And the guillotine wasn't just some old historical horror. The French continued to use the guillotine until 1981, when France outlawed capital punishment.

At the time of the French Revolution, the guillotine was considered:
a)The least cruel form of capital punishment.
b)The most painful way to punish criminals.
d) Outdated and inhumane.

The proposed downtown mall development will cause severe economic harm to our city. i, like everyone else here, am concerned about the troubled economy, and we all know the importance of job creation — especially here - but these concerns shouldn't push us to blindly support supposed "job creators" without first looking at the data. the truth is that when jobs are created in one place, they're usually destroyed somewhere else. studies have shown that for every job created by a mall, at least one job in a local business is lost. as the former owner of two long-standing small businesses in our community, i know all too well the power of these big commercial chains. my fellow citizens, we have watched this evil evolve for decades, and it's time to take a stand. these new chain stores may be able to offer lower prices on some goods, but they also take money out of our community to pay distant executives and shareholders. if we oppose what is the author's point of view?
