Some people questioned me about the origin of the terms "right" and "left", saying who was right at the court of the French Revolution were the clergy and aristocracy, the Jacobins and Girondins sat together on the left.
Yes, the principle was that it actually was not the court but in the Constituent Assembly, but the period was called the Convention (1792-1795) and, yes, there was a court, is that the terms were coined . Since this stage there was a clash between the Jacobins and the Girondins, with those sitting to the right and the other left.
