From the minute Catherine the Great seized the thrown in 1762, enlightened policies were enacted. That very year, She published The Manifesto Freeing the Nobility From Compulsory<\/em> Service. In this script she grants the release of all nobility from the Table of Ranks, and preserves this right for future generations to come. Within this document Catherine stresses the new right to travel, showing her desire for\u00a0a more cultured and global perspective for the nobility.

In 1785 the Charter to the Nobility provided many privileges to this group of people but also held them accountable for crimes committed as everyone in Russia was now under the law. Catherine’s vision of Russia was\u00a0a perpetual state of progress\u00a0where the Monarch\u00a0continued to act as a patriarch for all of it’s citizens.<\/p>\n
