Question

The Theophilanthropy movement emerged during this period, briefly replacing a movement (-5[1])centered on festivals every tenth day. A decadent subculture during this period known as the “incredibles” and “marvelous women” held apocryphal (0[1]-5[2])“victims’ balls” for relatives (-5[1])of those who had died earlier. (-5[1])This period’s Roman obsession included the use of “Brutus” (-5[1])and “Caton” as nouns as well as a namesake minimalist Neoclassical (-5[1])design style. Public discourse was supported by the Clichy Club, a faction in this government’s (*) Council of Five Hundred. (10[1])Gracchus Babeuf led a proto-communist (10[1])revolt against this government (10[1]-5[1])in the Conspiracy of the Equals. (10[1])This government’s ascent was aided by a “whiff of grapeshot.” This government (-5[1])was abolished after the resignations of Roger Ducos and the Abbé Sieyès in the Coup of 18 Brumaire. (10[1])For 10 points, name this government replaced by Napoleon’s Consulate. ■END■ (10[4]0[2])
