Abolishes the protection and residence tax on Jews - thus giving them the right of free residence. “The National Assembly, considering that protection by the public forces is owed to all inhabitants of the kingdom without any distinction on the sole condition that they acquit the common contributions; after having heard the report of its committee on domains; decreed and decrees that the annual charge of 20,000 livres levied against the Jews of Metz and its region, under the name of fee for inhabitance, protection, and toleration, is and remains suppressed and abolished, without any indemnification for the current concessionary and possessor of said charge.”
