The Estates-General was established in 1789 by King Philip IV of France as a collective group of nobles, clergymen, and commoners to unite France as a single national unity. They served together as a single legislative body of the French Government. All social classes were given equal voting rights and rights to enforce taxation laws. As a result, privileges were not reserved exclusively for the wealthy people. The establishment of Estates-General was one of the reasons for the French Revolution.

Klemens von Metternich (1773-1859) was a German nobel, who afterwards became prince and an important diplomat in the centre of European politics during the Restoration period, until the revolutions of 1848 began.
The <em>Metternich System</em>, Congress System or Vienna System, initiated after the Congress of Viena (1815), guided international relationships in the continent during the period delimited above. It consisted on using congresses and multilateral treaties for conflict resolution and to prevent that they can end up escalating to war. Hence, the ultimate goal of the system was to keep peace.
The more conservative parties used the Metternich system aiming to extinguish the revolutionary movements that were flourishing in Europe, to weaken the nationalisms and to restore the former power balances.
It prevented merchants from freely trading goods in foreign markets. apex//
