What authority carried out the Rain of Terror?

The Reign of Terror was primarily carried out by the Committee of Public Safety, which was led by figures such as Maximilien Robespierre during the French Revolution. This government body exercised dictatorial powers to eliminate perceived enemies of the revolution, resulting in the execution of thousands, including many political opponents. The period lasted from September 1793 to July 1794, ending with Robespierre's own execution.
