Joseph II

I ruled Austria from 1780 to 1790. I spread the ideas of equality and freedom and abolished tortue and the death penalty

@p5beccaria2016 I agree with your ideas of no tortue #abolished

@p5hobbes2016 As do I with your ideas

@johnlocke1976 My enlightenment ideas included abolishing serfdom, ending press censorship and limiting the power of the Catholic Church.

After the death of my mother, Maria Theresa, I became the sole ruler and immediately directed my government on a new course.

Equality and freedom all the way
