Document Summary
It was impossible to fully restore things they way they were before. Old ruling families returned to france, spain, naples, netherlands. Politically impossible to have the hre again. German confederation - roughly same boundaries as hre. 39 separate countries rather than 300 + states. Fantasized that they could go back to the way things were before the revolution. People who realized that things had changed but still wanted to uphold the way. Traditional authority structures should be back in place. The well-to-do should show kindness to the lower orders of society. Lower orders should show love and respect for well-to-dos. Got their political ideas from the enlightenment. French rev went too far but ideas were in the right direction. Countries should have written constitutions and no kings. Liberals took their inspiration from the english gov. Safer to have a written constitution - aka like america"s declaration. People who should vote should have some property.
