Note 83 — Chapter I · : THE PHYSIOCRATS
R. (Robert) Richards translation
Quesnay, Maximes, i. The Physiocrats were in favour of a national assembly, but would give it no legislative power. It was to be just a council of State concerned chiefly with public works and with the apportionment of the burden of taxation. See M. Esmein’s mémoire on the proposed National Assembly of the Physiocrats (Comptes rendus de l’Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques, 1904).
