Résumé anglais Inheritance and the Peasantry during the French Revolution : A Major Misunderstanding How was peasant opposition to the french Revolution related to the revolutionary legislation that, after several mainly political vicissitudes, resulted in the compromise of the Civil Code ? How did the peasantry experience the transition, which obviously involved laws, from the monarchy to the republic ? How did it react ? The author has distinguished three phases : a) the enactment of new, unitary and egalitarian legislation ; b) reactions ranging from passive resistance to the invention of parrying techniques ; c) the Civil Code. This "brilliant compromise" authorized "both the strictest egalitarianism where it was already usual to practise it and a very marked inegalitarianism in the areas most under the influence of written law".
