The statement that is untrue regarding changes to the rights of the Second Estate due to the National Assembly is:
c. Nobles were no longer able to own property.
While the French Revolution and the actions of the National Assembly brought about significant changes to the privileges of the nobility, the notion that nobles were completely stripped of the right to own property is false. The reforms did impact their taxation, dues, and exclusive rights but didn’t entirely abolish their property ownership.
