The Girondins and the Jacobins were the two political groups
that were fighting for power during the French Constitutional
Monarchy. Both groups had their own ideology of how France
should be ran and they executed these views differently. The
Jacobins being more radical than the Girondins. Slightly before
this, King Louis XVI and his family tried to escape to Austria to
plan with the Austrian army against the revolutionaries, but
were caught. As a result, France had to pull the National
Assembly together to form the Constitution of 1791, which
created the constitutional monarchy or the limited monarchy.
Because of the Constitution, King Louis had to answer to a new
Legislative Assembly. In that new assembly, separations were
formed between the Girondins and the Jacobins. Although both
wanted to reform the monarchy, the Jacobins were more violent
and forceful in pushing out the king, while the Girondins
wanted the constitutional monarch to stay. This paper will
discuss how their class differences, geographical backgrounds,
group principles, and aggressive behavior caused the Reign of
Terror.
