The focus was a massive election agitation for the democratic party for the November elections in 1848, which led to their clear election victory. After the subsequent removal of the democratically elected ministry in Eupen on December 5, 1848 by the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV , the citizens' association campaigned for a revision of important points.
