Best Answer

The Jacobins were an elite political club which once had a membership of about 420,000. Their members were professionals and financially well off. They were the bourgeoisie and included many titled individuals, a rare few genuine peasants with new found wealth and education, Doctors, Lawyers, Scientists and Bankers.

The "Sansculottes" were the urban poor, laborers, craftsmen, artisans and shopkeepers who were "Street Smart"and were the main protesters and demonstrators of the Revolution. They were the essential tools of the Jacobins, but they would never have been welcomed into the Club nor could they have afforded the price of membership.
