Model Answer

Politically, liberalism for the new middle classes emphasised government by consent, the end of autocracy and clerical privileges, and a constitution with representative government through parliament.

Source: Chapter 1, Section 2.2 – What did Liberal Nationalism Stand for?

Explanation

The question asks specifically about the political sphere. The textbook gives a clear one-line answer: liberalism meant government by consent, end of autocracy, and representative government through parliament. Avoid mixing in economic aspects (free markets, abolition of tariffs) — those belong to the economic sphere, which is a separate point in the chapter.
