| | Due to the international unrest in 1848, King William II decided to form a committee for revision of the constitution, and Thorbecke was appointed as the head of that committee. | | | During this cabinet, he devised several important laws, most important of which were laws on elections (1850), municipalities (1851) and provinces (1850). | | | The changes, which were virtually all architected by Thorbecke, were approved by the parliament, thereby severely limiting the powers of the monarch, and strengthening the powers of the parliament and the ministers. |

| | For the courage of the citizens William proposed the establishment of a university within the city, and the University of Leyden became one of the great schools in subsequent Dutch history. | | | Thus, in later years, his official title was: William I of Orange of the House of Nassau. | | | He continued to be used in various diplomatic tasks, although Philip was distrustful of him for his close association with Charles V. It was during this time that William's sympathies began to change to concern for and interest in the battered and beleaguered Calvinists in the Lowlands. |
