Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. During the Reign of Terror, France was ruled by a group of men called the Committee of Public Safety . The leader of this group was a man named Robespierre . Robespierre was also the leader of a radical group called the Jacobins.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sans-culottes, most of them urban labourers, served as the driving popular force behind the revolution. They were judged by the other revolutionaries as “radicals” because they advocated a direct democracy, that is to say, without intermediaries such as members of parliament.
Detailed explanation-3: -Various kinds of groups played an important role, such as citizens’ clubs, parliamentarians, governmental institutions and paramilitary movements.
Detailed explanation-4: -The members of this club were known as San Culottes because they wore long striped pants worn by dock workers as the symbol of equality.
