Debate: The French Revolution (1789?1815) Was the French Revolution worth the Human Costs? Yes: The third estate left the Estates General and then invited the clergy and the nobles to join them. On June 17, 1789 they declared themselves the National Assembly. First movement the masses participated in. This foreshadows the creation of laws to help the people. The National Assembly abolished feudal society in France, outlawed the dues and tithes to the church, and mandated that jobs be open to all. Three weeks later the Assembly issued the Declaration of the Rights of Man, by which everyone in France was considered born free and equal in rights, especially those of life, liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression. This led to a wave of abolitionism throughout Europe.
