Question: When was the body that ruled the country where the statue of liberty was constructed during the reign of terror formed?

The torch-bearing arm was displayed at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, and in Madison Square Park in Manhattan from 1876 to 1882. The statue was built in France, shipped overseas in crates, and assembled on the completed pedestal on what was then called Bedloe's Island. Fundraising proved difficult, especially for the Americans, and by 1885 work on the pedestal was threatened by lack of funds. Publisher Joseph Pulitzer, of the New York World, started a drive for donations to finish the project and attracted more than 120,000 contributors, most of whom gave less than a dollar. The statue's completion was marked by New York's first ticker-tape parade and a dedication ceremony presided over by President Grover Cleveland. <SEP> The Committee of Public Safety succeeded the previous Committee of General Defence (established in January 1793) and assumed its role of protecting the newly established republic against foreign attacks and internal rebellion. As a wartime measure, the Committee -- composed at first of nine, and later of twelve, members -- was given broad supervisory powers over military, judicial, and legislative efforts. The Committee of Public Safety (French: Comité de salut public) -- created in April 1793 by the National Convention and then restructured in July 1793 -- formed the de facto executive government in France during the Reign of Terror (1793 -- 94), a stage of the French Revolution. It was formed as an administrative body to supervise and expedite the work of the executive bodies of the Convention and of the government ministers appointed by the Convention. As the Committee tried to meet the dangers of a coalition of European nations and counter-revolutionary forces within the country, it became more and more powerful. <SEP> On 6 April the Committee of Public Safety was created, which gradually became the de facto war - time government. <SEP> during the french revolution, red became a symbol of liberty and personal freedom used by the jacobins and other more radical parties. many of them wore a red phrygian cap, or liberty cap, modeled after the caps worn by freed slaves in ancient rome. during the height of the reign of terror, women wearing red caps gathered around the guillotine to celebrate each execution. they were called the "furies of the guillotine". the guillotines used during the reign of terror in 1792 and 1793 were painted red, or made of red wood. during the reign of terror a statue of a woman titled liberty, painted red, was placed in the square in front of the guillotine. after the end of the reign of terror, france went back to the blue, white and red tricolor, whose red was taken from the traditional color of saint denis, the christian martyr and patron saint of paris. <SEP> on october 7, 2016, construction started on a new statue of liberty museum on liberty island. the new $70 million, 26,000 - square - foot (2,400 m) museum will be able to accommodate all of the island's visitors when it opens in 2019, as opposed to the current museum, which only 20% of the island's visitors can visit. the original torch will be relocated here, and in addition to exhibits relating to the statue's construction and history, there will be a theater where visitors can watch an aerial view of the statue. the museum, designed by fxfowle architects, will integrate with the parkland around it. it is being funded privately by diane von fürstenberg, michael bloomberg, jeff bezos, coca - cola, nbcuniversal, the family of laurence tisch and preston robert tisch, mellody hobson, and george lucas. von fürstenberg heads the fundraising for the museum, and the project had garnered more than $40 million in fundraising as of groundbreaking.
