Answers
Answer:
Jacobin clubs were the most influential clubs during the French Revolution.
The clubs were associations of people who were inspired and motivated by the ideas of nationalist writers like Voltaire and Rousseau.
The members of these clubs believed in the ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity and rose to oppose and overthrow the French monarchical system and unshackle the middle and lower classes.
They adopted the sans culottes or trousers without knee breeches as against the aristocratic trousers with knee breeches.
They took great pride in their clothing which was loose and mostly of the colours of the French National flag blue, white and red. This brought about a sense of unity and equality among all.
Having heard of the influence and success of the Jacobin clubs in France, many students and members of the educated middle class in all of Europe formed and joined Jacobin clubs.
