That the property of all citizens be inviolable, and that no one be required to make sacrifice thereof for the public welfare, except upon assurance of indemnification based on the statement of freely selected appraisers... 16. That such tax be borne equally, without distinction, by all classes of citizens and by all kinds of property, even feudal and contingent rights." -The Third Estate of Dourdon, Cahiers Source: John Hall Stewart, ed.

Source 1 "Nothing is more terrible than the events at Paris between 12th and 15th July: the Invalides broken into; canon and armed force used against the Bastille; this fortress taken by storm; the governor, Monsieur de Launay, dragged by the mob to the Place de Grève and decapitated; his head carried in triumph around the town; the same treatment meted out to the chief magistrate; the formation of a civil militia of 48,000 men; and the King, alone with the Comte de Provence and the Comte d'Artois, going on foot, without escort, to the Assembly, almost to apologise, and to request assistance to put down the disturbances: this is how weakness, uncertainty and an imprudent violence will overturn the throne of Louis XVI. I am still so disturbed by this news that I am afraid my letter shows it. Letter from Swedish King Gustav III to Count Stendingk, his ambassador at St Petersburg, 7 August 1789 Source 2 First, the people tried to enter this fortress [the Bastille] by the Rue St.-Antoine, this fortress, which no one has ever penetrated against the wishes of this frightful despotism and where the monster still resided. It was a terrible scene.... The fighting grew steadily more intense; the citizens had become hardened to the fire... the fury was at its height; people bravely faced death and every danger; women, in their eagerness, helped us to the utmost; even the children, after the discharge of fire from the fortress, ran here and there picking up the bullets and shot; [and so the Bastille fell and the governor, De Launey, was captured].... On arriving at the square, the people, anxious to avenge themselves, allowed neither De Launey nor the other officers to reach the place of trial; they seized them from the hands of their conquerors, and trampled them underfoot one after the other. De Launey was struck by a thousand blows, his head was cut off and hoisted on the end of a pike with blood streaming down all sides.... This glorious day must amaze our enemies, and finally usher in for us the triumph of justice and liberty.
