The most important work of the National Assembly was the abolition of feudalism, serfdom and class privileges. On 4 August 1789, one of the nobles, who was a relative of Lafayette, stated in the Assembly that one of the reasons of the attack of the peasants on the nobility and their property was the prevalence of inequality based on injustice. He maintained that the remedy was not to repress the peasants but to end inequality which was the root cause of the trouble. A resolution was moved and passed that there should be equality of taxes.
Then nobles competed with nobles and clergymen with clergymen in giving up their rights and privileges. It was in this atmosphere that the game laws were repealed, manorial courts were suppressed and serfdom was abolished. The clergymen gave up the tithes and other privileges. Sale of offices was to be discontinued. In short, all the special privileges of classes, cities and provinces were swept away.
The following Rights of Man and the Citizen were declared by the National Assembly:
(i) Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinction can only be founded on public utility.
(ii) The aim of every political association is the reservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression.
(iii) Liberty consists in being allowed to do whatever does not injure other people.
(iv) The free communication of thought and opinion is one of the most precious rights of man.
(v) No person shall be accused, arrested, or imprisoned except in the cases and according to the forms prescribed by law.
(vi) Since private property is an invaluable and sacred right, no one shall be deprived thereof except where public necessity, legally determined, clearly demanded, and then only on condition than the owner shall have been previously and equitably indemnified.
(vii) Law is the expression of the general will. All citizens have the right to take part personally or through their representatives in its formation.
(viii) Sovereignty resides in the nation and no body or individual can exercise authority if it does not take its origin from the nation.
(ix) The people have the right to control the finances of the country.
(x) All officials of the State are responsible to the people.
