Is this a joke? Jefferson was an average politically-savvy 18th-century aristocrat. He wasn't the monster everyone desperately wants him to be. Not only was he devoted to enlightenment ideals, he built a system based on those ideals and followed-through on implementing them with the power he was given.
Robespierre, on the other hand, was a monster who took the French Revolution and turned it into a monstrous terror-state where he just went around killing everyone. As soon as he died, his revolutionary government fell apart and France spent the next 70 years ruled by either a Napoleon or a King.
