The Frankfurt Parliament and the attempt to unify Germany through political reform failed. Frederick William refused to accept the crown because it had not been offered by the other German Princes, stating that he would not "accept a crown from the gutter".

The Frankfurt Parliament was a group of some 800 middle class liberals, most of whom were lawyers, officials, and university professors, which came from all the German states to draft a constitution for a united Germany. They proposed a document, which recognized the equality of all German people, freedom of speech, assembly, and religion, as well as the right to property.b.The Frankfurt Parliament failed because it failed to address the needs of the workers and peasants. The delegates rejected universal male suffrage as a “dangerous experiment” and refused to provide protection for artisans who were being squeezed out of work by industrialization.
