Answer:

It led to further radicalization because revolutionist couldn't agree how to create changes in the society, and two groups were created. Those who were more radical started prosecuting those who were not.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the Revolution two political groups dominated political life in France. Those were Jacobins and Girondins. Jacobins believed that reforms should be done without compromises. Girondins disagreed and they were prosecuted by the first. A lot of people died during the period that is known as Reign of Terror.
