👉 The executed weapon, also known as the guillotine, is a type of cleaver used during the French Revolution and later in other parts of Europe as a method of execution. It features a single blade that is raised and lowered at a 45-degree angle, allowing for a swift and relatively painless severance of the neck. The design is efficient, as it requires minimal force to execute while also ensuring a clean cut, minimizing the risk of injury to the condemned individual. This method became symbolic of the Revolution's ideals of equality and rationality, though it remains a controversial and brutal practice in historical contexts.
