In 1819, Liebenstein moved into the second chamber of the Baden Estates Assembly in Karlsruhe as a member of the Emmendingen electoral district . Von Liebenstein advocated the separation of the judiciary and administration, the public and the orality of judicial proceedings, as well as freedom of the press and jury courts.
In 1821 he was appointed to the Ministry of the Interior, but was transferred to the post of director of the Murg and Pfinz district in Durlach in 1821 because of his oppositional stance in the state parliament.
