Group who wanted elected parliamentsto have more power?

The group that sought to empower elected parliaments was primarily composed of reformers and political activists, often referred to as "liberals" or "reformists." They advocated for greater representation and democratic governance, pushing for constitutional reforms that would limit the powers of monarchs and increase the authority of elected representatives. This movement was particularly prominent in the 19th century during various democratic revolutions and reforms across Europe and the Americas. Their efforts laid the groundwork for modern democratic systems.
