Answer:

Jean-Paul Marat wrote a radical newspaper naming all citizens that were enemies of the French Revolution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jean-Paul Marat, a radical Jacobin, wrote from 1.789 to 1.792 L'Ami du peuple (The Friend of the People), which advocated for lower-class people and had no hesitation to mention name of people considered as "enemies of the Revolution". The newspaper was considered dangerous because writings ignited violence and rebellion within lower-class people and had an enormous influence in events like Women's March on Versailles (October 1.789), the elimination of Monarchy (August 10, 1.792) and the September Massacres (September 2 - 6, 1.792)
