The ancient divisions of our Realm into Provinces shall continue,
though all feudal relation connected therewith shall hereby cease.
The internal administration of the provinces shall be uniform; and
"they shall have more freedom than any among them has hitherto enjoyed."
No landed property shall be exempt from the common burdens:
"Et que la noblesse, quelque ancienne qu'elle soit, ni aucun emploi,
charge ni dignité, soit un titre pour dispenser nos sujets de payer les
impositions réelles et personnelles."
