Instruments that changed the legal status of people or land: the Emancipation Proclamation, the Permanent Settlement of Bengal and the French code on the entry and residence of foreigners and the right of asylum. A document belongs here when its cited article describes an emancipation, a land settlement or an immigration code. It excludes declarations of rights. The group joins measures that changed who may hold land, be free or enter a country, so a bill of rights never belongs here.
