===Convention=== |

In 1792 he was elected deputy to the [[National Convention]], and joined the [[Girondist]]s under the influence of his friend [[Madame Roland]]. Buzot entered a polemic with the main rival of the Girondists, [[Jean-Paul Marat]], and demanded the formation of a [[National Guard (France)|National Guard]] from the ''[[Département in France|départements]]'' to defend the Convention against the Paris crowds of ''[[sans-culotte]]s''. His proposal was carried, but never put into force - the Parisians subsequently singled him out as a target of their hatred. |

In the trial of [[List of French monarchs|King]] [[Louis XVI of France|Louis XVI]], Buzot voted in favour of the [[capital punishment]] death, but with [[Appeal|appeal to the people]] and postponement of sentence (''sursis''). He had a sentence of death passed against the [[House of Bourbon|Royalist]] ''[[émigré]]s'' who did not return to France, and against anyone who should demand the re-establishment of the monarchy.<ref name=EB1911/> At the same time, he opposed [[Georges Danton]] and [[The Mountain]], and rejected the creation of a [[Committee of Public Safety]] and [[Revolutionary Tribunal]] (but [[Abstention|abstained]] when the question of Marat's trial before the Tribunal was brought up by the Girondists). |
|||
===Flight and resistance=== |
|||
Proscribed with the Girondists on 2 June 1793, he escaped, and took refuge to [[Calvados (department)|Calvados]] in [[Normandy]], where he contributed to organize a Girondist [[insurrection]] against the Convention, which was suppressed soon after.<ref name=EB1911/> |

The Convention prosecuted him, and decreed "''that the house occupied by Buzot be demolished, and never to be rebuilt on this plot. [Instead,] a [[column]] shall be raised, on which there shall be written: «Here was the sanctuary of the villain Buzot who, while a representative of the people, [[Conspiracy (political)|conspired]] for the overthrow of the [[First French Republic|French Republic]]»''". He fled together with [[Jérôme Pétion de Villeneuve]] to [[Saint-Émilion]], near [[Bordeaux]], and remained in hiding. Both of them committed [[suicide]] in the forest surrounding the area; their bodies were recovered a month later, half-eaten by wolves. |
