In other parts of Europe like Germany, Italy, Poland the Austro-Hungarian Empire, men and women of the liberal middle classes combined their demands for creation of a nation-state. This demand was based on Constitution, freedom of press and freedom of association.
On 18th May, 1848, 831 elected representatives marched in a festive procession to take their places in the Frankfurt Parliament convened in the church of St Paul. They drafted a Constitution for a German nation to be headed by a monarchy subject to a Parliament.
When the deputies offered the crown on these terms to Friedrich Wilhelm IV, King of Prussia, he rejected it and joined other monarchs to oppose the elected assembly.
The Parliament was dominated by the middle classes, who resisted the demands of workers and artisans and consequently lost their support. In the end, troops were called in and the assembly was forced to disband.
