The preconception exists that rulers cared only for themselves and the nobility, ignoring the horrendous conditions of the lower castes. But did Sovereigns ever attempt to improve the life quality for for example the peasantry? Where did they face resistance in doing so and how did they go about it?

I asked this question once before. However I phrased the question so poorly that the post got taken down immediately. This is another attempt, I hope I express my inquiry more precisely with less probablity to think of it in the wrong way...

What country and time period are you asking about?

If you're asking about all rulers through all time, your question is far too broad.
