After the extremely short diet of 1830 called early by the emperor of Austria Kaiser Francis the first, after the July revolution in France in a panic of the possibility of a Hungarian radical uprising, to ascend Archduke Ferdinand to the throne of Hungary. In which something interesting happened, in the Hungarian parliamentary election a even split leaning reformers came to be as the older estates lost their influence after the Napoleonic wars and shattered congress. and in the war Hungarians being lead by Austrian commanders who didn't even speak the same language, and even if they were Hungarian some of their squad mates weren't able to speak the language, and as combat evolved the Hungarians watched as industrialized forces were in better conditions then the rural Hungarians and the nobles saw it to something's need to change and with a peace upheld for now it must be done in the parliament.
Now is the time for a new one, and the reforms in the two years have already been positive and the life of the common man has been improved with new institution's emplace to teach the peasant's as Hungary's literacy is amongst the lowest in Europe, and many more to come under the reformist rule, but now a election is coming up and as the estates gather, some men make their stand.

However it postponed and took place in 1832 after it the reformers begun on health reforms and some sort of Healthcare for the common man, as such this was easily pushed and approved by the diet and in the final draft, however the next reform brought up was one with deep ties.
