Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Joseph II's Serfdom Patent was met with resistance, particularly in the eastern regions of the Austrian Empire. Many nobles and landowners were not in favor of the abolition of serfdom, which was a major source of their labor and wealth. As a result, implementation of the patent varied greatly throughout the empire, with some regions fully adopting it while others resisted or only partially implemented it.
