Peasants Grievances during French Revolution

During the french revolution, the peasants felt that they were not being treated fairly. Food shortages were a result of the National Assembly. The Great Assembly created a law abolishing the powers of the right to compel peasants to labor for landlords.Along with abolishing bondage, tithes for the church were abolished. The peasants demand the right to represent themselves, rights of man of the citizen, freedom of speech. This will make the peasants happier and give them more freedom.
