Cadiz.[4]

El Robespierre Español adopted an Aristotelian approach towards revolution and described it as a “declaration of public opinion through deeds.”[6] This definition was given in the magazine as a reason for the overthrow of the despotic governments in that such governments had been ruled without taking into consideration the public opinion.[6] The magazine folded in July 1812.[4]
