Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
San Culottes was the term used to refer to the members of Jacobin Club as they used to wear long striped pants. Dock workers wore these pants. They represented equality by this. They wore red caps to signify their freedom. Only Men were allowed to wear Red caps because they thought freedom and equality were only necessary for men, and only men needed equality. Women did not need equality and freedom, so they were not permitted to wear red caps, as red caps were the symbols of freedom. They wanted men to be treated equally without any discrimination of castes, religions, and work. Shopkeepers, artisans, printers, servers, and daily wage makers were members of the Jacobin club. People, usually of low classes, were the Jacobin club members who demanded freedom and equality.
