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