Question

note on jacobin club

Answer 1

Jacobin Club
--------------------------------

It was established during French Revolution in the year 1789.
The members of this club were the least prosperous people of the Third Estate like watchmakers, matchbox makers, shoe makers,florists,etc.

The members called themselves 'San- Culottes.' San Culottes means those without knee breeches.They called themselves this because they wanted to distinguish themselves from the rich clergy and nobles.

Maximilien Robespierre was the leader of the club during the French Revolution. He was a noble by birth but he opposed the system of monarch.

When the Jacobins got the power, terror spread among all the Estates. This period between 1793- 1794 is termed as 'Reign of Terror'.

Due to such harsh treatment, the Jacobins were thrown off their power and the rule of 'Directory' was established in Revolutionary France.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey mate!! Here is the answer....

Explanation:

• The most successful of these clubs was that of the Jacobins, which got its name from the former convent of St Jacob in Paris. The members of the Jacobin club belonged mainly to the less prosperous sections of society.
• They included small shopkeepers, artisans such as shoemakers, pastry cooks, watch-makers, printers, as well as servants and daily-wage workers. Their leader was Maximilian Robespierre.
• A large group among the Jacobins decided to start wearing long striped trousers similar to those worn by dock workers.
• This was to set themselves apart from the fashionable sections of society, especially nobles, who wore knee breeches.
• It was a way of proclaiming the end of the power wielded by the wearers of knee breeches.
• These Jacobins came to be known as the sans-culottes, literally meaning ëthose without knee breechesí. Sansculottes men wore in addition the red cap that symbolised liberty.
• Women however were not allowed to do so.
