Italian Nationalism

In my opinion, Italy went through Liberal Nationalism. Italy at that point was a law based society where majority ruled. For example, "Restricted franchise gave rights to vote and run for office to people of wealth"(author, 1).  This law allowed a certain group of people, in this case the wealthy, to participate in running and voting for office. This gave new opportunities to those people. Now, Italy has become a land of its own through fighting for unification. The citizens have fought for and received freedom. The Italians at that time accomplished many things including making a "constitutional monarchy" (author, 1) which contributed to making Italy Liberal.
