The Assembly in August 1789 passed the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen on the 4th August. This annulled the right of nobles to demand taxes, tithes and labor from peasants working on their family land. The declaration was inspired by the American Revolution and was partially written by LaFayette. | The Assembly in August 1789 passed the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen on the 4th August.
