The words translate into English as 'without knee breeches' and loosley applied to the French lower classes during the French Revolution. They wore long trousers as opposed to knee breeches which were worn by the Upper Classes. Sans-coulottism refered to the idea that valued fraternity above liberty and demanded economic controls. To maintain popular support, in the time of crisis, the government supported them during the early months of the Reign of Terror, but later arrested them. Eventually, Sans-coulottism was neutralised
