text:
The decree on the goods of the clergy placed at the disposal of the Nation was a decree passed by the National Constituent Assembly of France on 2 November 1789, during the French Revolution. Proposed by Talleyrand, bishop of Autun, it was carried by 568 votes against 346. It forced Roman Catholic clergy to give their lands and goods to the French state to pay its debts. Clergy's belongings and lands became 'biens nationaux' and were partly sold off to replenish the state's coffers (assignats).
