They suffer the horrors of poverty without being able to better their social status . . . or without being able to dedicate themselves to industry or agriculture due to the fact that the lands, woods, and water are monopolized by the few."

And for that reason 1/3 of the total land mass in the respective region was then well distributed among the people.
