The National Pact initially was made up of [[Kilikas Enlightenment]]-influenced liberal [[Social class in Urcea|privilegiata]], supporters of the powers of the Daoni over that of the King, moderate reformers, and a small faction of nationalists and other compatible Delegates from the Daoni. Some of these factions had existed since the beginning of the [[War of the Caroline Succession]] some forty years prior. Together, these disparate groups formed the cohesive ideology of [[Crown Liberalism]], the guiding philosophy of the National Pact. | ||
Rather than following the lead of some other foreign-influenced factions and Delegates, the members of the National Pact considered themselves loyal subjects of the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]], and that they abhorred revolution or disloyalty. Instead, the Pact sought gradual reform within existing institutions. Throughout the 19th century's constitutional settlements, the National Pact scored many key victories for the power of the [[Concilium Daoni]], and thus the common people in general, in relation to the King. During this time, in which the party was unofficially known as the '''Party of Order''', the Pact coalesced from a loose coalition into a more unified and disciplined political organization with a clear ideology of modernization and industrialization with liberalization, and the party was lead by the privilegiata. The Party of Order era saw the National Pact support the King against more revolutionary types during the latter half of the 19th Century, a period in which they controlled substantial Daoni majorities. The so-called Party of Order also won elections for all of Urcea's seats in the [[Imperial Diet]] during the period. The 19th century included the period of enmity now referred to by historians as the [[Recess of the Julii]], which lead to the National Pact practicing political abstentionism in the Diet. | Rather than following the lead of some other foreign-influenced factions and Delegates, the members of the National Pact considered themselves loyal subjects of the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]], and that they abhorred revolution or disloyalty.
