The czar did not commit to any of Kosciuszko’s requests, but Prince Adam Czartoryski assured the general that Alexander was someone they could trust and work with. Alexander set up a civil and military committee to start work on concepts for the new Polish legal code. Kosciuszko worked with the committee and wrote a memorandum that was a road map for gradually leading the serfs out of feudalism. He also worked with the military committee to plan an officer corps based on merit.
