Metternich described Mazzini as ‘the most dangerous enemy of our social order’ because of the following reasons:

1. Mazzini’s vision of a democratic republic frightened the conservatives.

2. Mazzini was the founder of Young Italy, and he believed in liberal nationalism.

3. He also founded the underground society called Young Europe in Berne.

4. These two societies aimed at uniting several states and kingdoms into one republic.

5. He wrote many essays that brought injustice to common people such as artists, professionals, peasants, etc., to the limelight.
