The assembly which was convened at Frankfurt by political associations, middle-class professionals and businessmen drafted a constitution in 1848. This constitution enlisted the monarchy as subject to the Parliament. Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia along with the other monarchs rejected it categorically. The aristocracy and the military also opposed it and the Parliament with labourers, artisans and business men lost support and had to be disbanded. Moreover, the Parliament kept at least half of the population out of active participation. Women could only be spectators from the gallery and were not allowed to participate actively. Without complete support of the entire society, the Parliament did not become a success.
