The Leveller's Manifesto

The Leveller's Manifesto was a document from the 17th-century English movement advocating for political equality and individual rights. It called for reforms like expanding voting rights, limiting the power of the monarchy and Parliament, and establishing a more democratic society. The Levellers sought to ensure that all citizens, regardless of social status, had a voice in government and that laws protected personal freedoms. Their ideas challenged existing hierarchies and emphasized the importance of popular sovereignty and justice, laying groundwork for modern democratic principles.
