What was the political signal of the long trousers of sans culottes?

Correct answer: They were rejecting noble identity and showing solidarity with common people

The sans-culottes were mainly urban workers and lower-middle-class revolutionaries. Their long trousers differed from the knee-breeches worn by nobles, so they became a political symbol of opposition to aristocratic privilege and solidarity with ordinary people. Option A is the closest distractor, but the sans-culottes did not adopt aristocratic dress. Exam tip: In the French Revolution, clothing and symbols often indicated social class and political allegiance.
