<P> On 31 October 1790 the Assembly abolished all internal trade barriers . Prior to that date, goods being shipped around France had to pass through various customs posts, often corresponding to the way territories had accreted to the French crown . After that date, all of France formed a single unit from the point of view of customs barriers . </P> <P> The d'Allarde Law of 2 March 1791 suppressed guilds and masterships and freed any individual to practice a trade through the purchase of a license .

The debate pitted the safety of the state against the liberty of individuals to leave . Mirabeau carried the day against the measure, which he referred to as "worthy of being placed in the code of Draco ." However, before the end of the year, the new French Legislative Assembly would adopt this "draconian" measure . </P>
