Detailed explanation-1: -Louis XVI was executed in 1793, and Robespierre was executed in 1794. So, the correct answer is that both were removed from power during the French Revolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -At the outset of the Revolution, Louis XVI adopted a pro-reform stance. But the King was indecisive and reluctant to ratify the texts proclaiming the abolition of privileges and the Declaration of the Rights of Man, promulgated shortly after the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789.
Detailed explanation-3: -As the Revolution progressed, Robespierre joined the Jacobins Club where he found many like-minded people. He was considered a radical who wanted the monarchy overthrown and the people to take over the government. Over time, Robespierre began to gain power in the new revolutionary government.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Reign of Terror (French: la Terreur) was a period of the French Revolution when, following the creation of the First Republic, a series of massacres and numerous public executions took place in response to revolutionary fervour, anticlerical sentiment, and accusations of treason by the Committee of Public Safety.
