Committee of General Security
Organized gangs formed, the "jeunesse doree" or Muscadins, who harassed and attacked Jacobin members, even assailing the Jacobin Club hall in Paris. On 21 Brumaire, the Convention refused to support enforcement of protection of the club. The Committee of General Security decided to close the Jacobins' meeting hall late that night resulting in it being padlocked at four in the morning.
