Explanation:

The Law of Suspects was a French decree passed on the 17th of September, 1793 during the French Revolution. The law ordered the arrest of all suspected enemies of the Revolution. The decree lasted until 28th of July, 1794 after the fall of architect of the Terror, in person of Maximilien Robespierre. The law was officially abolished in October, 1795.

Examples of people who would have been considered suspects are;

(1). Those who have done nothing against freedom.

(2). Those who have done nothing for freedom.

Donald Greer, Jean Tulard and Louis Jacob.

The Committee of Public Safety would have considered them suspects because they thought they don't have the right to do so and that the suspect can stage revolution.
