      A large number of Jacobins came to be known as 'Sans-culottes'. What did this term mean?  

    Answer:

                      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. These Jacobins came to be known as the '' sans-culottes', literally meaning 'those without knee breeches'.
