"The Committee of Public Safety forcefully eliminated all opposition" is the best choice.

Under Robespierre the Committee led the Reign of Terror (1793–94), using revolutionary tribunals, the Law of Suspects and later the Law of 22 Prairial to arrest, try quickly, and execute suspected opponents and rivals. It centralized power and purged factions (e.g., Dantonists, Hébertists); justice was often summary and politically motivated rather than fair or protective of behaving citizens.
