We find, in the biographical notice devoted to it by the Dictionary of deputies (1789-1889) de Delille and Demarçay, trace of many of his interventions. We can cite some in a list which is certainly far from exhaustive:

During the year 1791, Claude-Pierre de Delay d’Agier will return many times on issues related to taxation and taxation, whether in reports, or in speeches in the gallery. We can cite two extracts from these texts, which reflect our opinion well in the matter:

“Let us hurry to console the inhabitant of the countryside; Let us return this happy energy, the prerogative of the free man ….. You will achieve, gentlemen, to this generous goal of your work, by proportioning and limiting the land contribution only to natural and taxable income of its properties, And never suffering that the entire contribution exceeds both fifths from the mass of direct and indirect taxes. »»

“I think that in the evaluation of a land ownership for the distribution of the tax, one must rule out the whole part of the income which is not the necessary continuation of an ordinary and use exploitation according to the Custom of countries. »»

He will even occasionally reproach his colleagues:

“We must, gentlemen, assign the insufficiency of our results on the tax, that when we have irregular that we have followed …”

The August 31, 1791 , he proposed that the members of the third legislature cannot be elected to the fourth, and had decreed (September 2) that no deputy could be absent without leave.
