3) All citizens were required to eat bread made from wheat flour.

4) Slavery was abolished in French colonies.

5) Equality was practised through forms of speech and address.

6) Peasants were forced to transport their grain to the cities and sell it at the prices fixed by the Government.

7) Churches were shut down so that the first estate did not get enough importance and could not exploit the poor people. The Church buildings were converted into barracks or offices.
