What does liberal reform have to do with the revolutions in 1848 and how did Britain avoid the turmoil of the continent?
Answers
Answer:
In 1848, when there were revolts of peasant-laborers suffering poverty, unemployment and starvation in many European countries, there was also a revolution in the educated middle classes. The events of February 1848 forced the king to abdicate and proclaimed a republic based on universal franchise of all men. In other parts of Europe, where independent nation-states had not yet come into existence, such as Germany, Italy, Poland, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, women-men of the liberal middle classes linked the demand for constitutionalism to the demand for national integration. He took advantage of the growing public discontent and carried forward the demands for the creation of a nation-state. It was based on parliamentary principles such as nation-state constitution, freedom of press and freedom to form organizations.
Frankfurt Parliament:
A large number of political organizations in German areas decided to vote in favor of an all-German National Assembly together in the city of Frankfurt. On May 18, 1848, 831 elected representatives took their place in the Frankfurt Parliament in a well-decorated procession. This parliament was held in St. Paul's Church. He drafted a constitution for a German nation. The presidency of this nation was entrusted to a king who was to be under the Parliament.
