Rebels
Liberal rebels (known as "Jacobins") are likely to rise during the Springtime of Nations or any time a country is experiencing liberal agitation, especially if a majority of the population are already liberals or, to a lesser extent, anarcho-liberals. Having a universal vote franchise can dramatically reduce the chance of liberals rebelling.

Liberal rebels want to change the government type to a democracy. However, in a country ruled by an absolute monarch, they'll settle for installing a constitutional monarchy instead. Either way, they'll change the political landscape, basing the upper house on the nation's population and allowing for weighted universal voting, gerrymandering, non-socialist trade unions, free press, and public meetings.
