Edict of Chateaubriand

The Edict of Chateaubriand, issued in 1817, was a decree by the French government aimed at promoting religious tolerance and stability after the upheavals of the French Revolution. It eased restrictions on Protestant and Catholic Catholics and improved the rights of religious minorities, encouraging a more harmonious religious coexistence. This edict helped restore some religious freedoms that had been restricted during the revolution, fostering a more peaceful and unified society by reducing state interference in religious matters.
