Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Levellers were a political movement during the English Civil War (1642–1651) that emphasized popular sovereignty, extended suffrage, equality before the law, and religious tolerance, all based upon personal liberty. They did not call for the end of private property, the collectivization of land, or the execution of nobles and aristocrats. Their most radical demand was for a nearly universal manhood suffrage, which was quite progressive for the 17th century.
