Question

explain what is meant by 1848 revolution of the liberals what were the political social and economic ideas supported by the liberals​

Answer 1

Revolutions of 1848, series of republican revolts against European monarchies, beginning in Sicily, and spreading to France, Germany, Italy, and the Austrian Empire. They all ended in failure and repression, and were followed by widespread disillusionment among liberals.The revolutionary movement began in Italy with a local revolution  in Sicily in January 1848; and, after the revolution of February 24 in France, the movement extended throughout the whole of Europe  with the exception of Russia, Spain, and the Scandinavian countries. In Great Britain  it amounted to little more than a Chartist demonstration and a republican agitation in Ireland. In Belgium, the Netherlands, and Denmark  it manifested  itself in peaceful reforms of existing institutions; but democratic insurrections broke out in the capitals of the three great monarchies, Paris, Vienna, and Berlin, where the governments, rendered powerless by their fear of “the revolution,” did little to defend themselves. The revolution was successful in France  alone; the Second Republic and universal manhood suffrage  were established, but the quarrel between the supporters of the république démocratiqueand the partisans of république démocratique et sociale culminated in a workers’ insurrection in June 1848.

Answer 2

The 1848 revolution of the liberals refers to the discontent and various national movements pioneered by educated middle classes alongside the revolts of the poor, unemployed and starving peasants and workers in Europe. While in countries like France, food shortages and widespread unemployment during 1848 led to popular uprisings, in other parts of Europe (such as Germany, Italy, Poland and the Austro-Hungarian Empire), men and women of the liberal middle classes came together to voice their demands for the creation of nation-states based on parliamentary principles. The political, social and economic ideas supported by the liberals were:

Politically, they demanded constitutionalism with national unification, a nation-state with a written constitution and parliamentary administration. They wanted to establish individual freedom and equality before the law and equal political rights.

Socially, they wanted to rid society of its class-based partialities and birthrights. Serfdom and bonded labour had to be abolished.The Issue of political rights to women also was a social issue. Liberal also stressed the inviolability of private property.

Economically they demanded freedom of markets and right to property. Abolition of state imposed restrictions on the movements of goods and capital.
