Answer:

The bustling Joseph enlivened a total change of the general set of laws, canceled ruthless disciplines and capital punishment in many occasions, and forced the rule of complete equity of treatment for all wrongdoers. He eased up oversight of the press and theater. In 1781-82 he stretched out full legitimate opportunity to serfs.
