"The Convention has declared that prisoners must prove that they were patriots from the 1st of May 1789.

When the patriots and enemies of the Revolution shall be fully known, then the property of the former shall be inviolable and held sacred, while that of the latter will be confiscated for the benefit of the republic."] [Footnote 2151: Buchez et Roux, XXVI., 455 (Session of the Jacobin Club, May 10, 1793, speech by Robespierre.)--Ibid., (Report by Saint-Just, Feb.

26, 1794.) "He who has shown himself an enemy of his country cannot be one of its proprietors.

Only he has patrimonial rights who has helped to free it."] [Footnote 2152: Buchez et Roux, XXXI., 93 and 130.
