The sans-culottes (French: [sɑ̃kylɔt], literally "without breeches") were the common people of the lower classes in late 18th century France, a great many of whom became radical and militant partisans of the French Revolution in response to their poor quality of life under the Ancien Régime.[1]The name sans-culottes refers to their clothing, and through that to their lower-class status: culottes were the fashionable silk knee-breechesof the 18th-century nobility and bourgeoisie, and the working class sans-culottes wore pantaloons, or trousers, instead.[2] The sans-culottes, most of them urban labourers, served as the driving popular force behind the revolution. Though ill-clad and ill-equipped, they made up the bulk of the Revolutionary army during the early years of the French Revolutionary Wars.[3]:1-22

sans cullottes(men without knee breaches)was the rich ,educated and middle class people who were members of the Jacobin club in the pre revolutionary period and the Jacobin regime.
They symbolised the richer and educated members who were not given privileges and was used to criticise the method of giving privileges and social status on the basis of birth only.
