Georgian Agrarian Land Reform Act

Assembly Act No. 15 - Georgian Agrarian Land Reform Act promotes all agricultural territories to belong to the emperor's exclusive ownership. This Act by its name supports the theory of Georgism, also known as the single tax movement where system of taxation is based mainly and excusively in one tax. In the explanatory note, one of the rationale behind this was to end the system of encomienda. This was a big step forward towards eradicating feudalism in the Empire of the Philippines.
