No Thermidorian Reaction

French Revolution WI: What would be the likely consequences if the Thermidorian Reaction that overthrew Robespierre never happened? Not sure how to avert it, not a France expert, but let's say Robespierre either doesn't take as much power or never goes off the deep end with the extension of the Reign of Terror and the Cult of the Supreme Being and whatnot. Basically, what I'm looking for is whether or not it is possible for the Jacobins to remain in power, at least for a long time, and better establish the Cult of Reason. Also, with this POD, would it be possible to make the French First Republic remain the only French Republic?

if they go with adding a number every new constitution, no.

if there's no reign of terror, you might see some less radicalized responses to tge revolution from the rest of the world. although there's probably going to be continuing conflict regarding juring vs. non-juring clergy.
