Given in Paris on March 28, 1790. » Printed in Aix (Aix-en-Provence) by Imprimeries B. Gibelin-David & T. Emeric-David, Avocats, Imprimeurs du Roi & de M. l'Intendant. 1790 By the decree of March 15, 17902, the National Assembly dealt with the abolition of seignorial and feudal privileges. The decree is “formed from the union of several partial decrees” (we would say, today, of their codification): the decrees respectively of February 24, 25, 26 and 27, 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 , March 11 and 15, 1790. Sanctioned by letters patent on March 28, 1790, the decree of March 15, 1790 became the decree of March 15-28, 1790 “relating to feudal rights”3,1. Its preamble thus summarizes the decrees of August 4, 6, 7, 8 and 11, 1789: “under the terms of article 1 [of] the decrees of August 4, 6, 7, 8 and 11, 1789, the feudal regime is entirely destroyed ; [...] with regard to feudal or censual rights and duties, those which depended on or were representative, either of personal or real mortmain, or of personal servitude, are abolished without compensation; [...] at the same time, all other rights are maintained until the redemption by which the persons encumbered by them were allowed to free themselves from them, and which were reserved to be developed by a particular law the effects of the destruction of the feudal regime, as well as the distinction between abolished rights and redeemable rights. Its title I specifies the “general effects of the destruction of the feudal regime”; its title II lists the “signorial rights which are suppressed without compensation”; and its title III, the “redeemable seigneurial rights”.
