French Revolution: Government
built 222 days ago
The slogan of the French Revolution was "Liberté, égalité, fraternité, ou la mort!" ("Liberty, equality, fraternity, or death!"). This slogan outlived the revolution, later becoming the rallying cry of activists, both militant and non-violent, who promote democracy or overthrow oppressive governments.

The influence of the French Revolution was particularly strong in Brunswick, Hamburg and the Rhineland. Campe's famous letters from Paris in the Braunschweiger Journal had something to do with that. Klopstock and Hennings champion revolution in Hamburg. Forster, Görres and Venedy fostered separatism in Cologne and Koblenz. But from Prussia, the South and especially from British Hannover there is opposition. Brandes, Rehberg and Spitteler at Göttingen attack the political rationalism and the revolution per se. Official government circles concoct the idea that there is a world conspiracy led by Freemasons and illuminati.

Just as the guillotine hacked off heads during the French Revolution, in the genomics revolution Molecular Devices and its bioanalysis systems are hacking time and costs off developing new drugs. The firm's products, which automate certain drug-discovery tasks, include Maxline microplate readers that measure the concentration of a substance in a test sample. Another product, IonWorks, screens ion channels to determine how they interact with chemicals. Its FLIPR system measures cellular responses to drug candidates. Molecular Devices' customers include pharmaceutical and biotech firms, as well as academic, government, and other R&D labs around the world. The firm has agreed to be acquired by MDS.

Vendée is remembered as the place where the peasants revolted against the French Revolutionary government in 1793. They resented the changes imposed on the Roman Catholic Church by the Civil Constitution of the Clergy (1790) and broke into open revolt in defiance of the Revolutionary government's military conscription.[16] A guerrilla war, known as the Revolt in the Vendée, led at the outset by an underground faction called the Chouans.[17]
