“summon extraordinary activity”. He felt he literally had the right to make up rules as needed, as there were no established rules
during that time. This was to rationalize the atrocities he felt necessary and justified. This was a repressive environment,
unbending and too rigid for the French People. Innocent people could be accused of being “outside the sovereign” and

later did they evacuate the surrounding town of Pripyat, but by then it was
