April laws

The April laws, also called March laws, [ [http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9050799/March-Laws Britannica article on March laws] ] were a series of laws presented by Kossuth Lajos with the aim of modernizing Kingdom of Hungary into a nation state. The program included Hungarian control of its national guard, national budget and Hungarian foreign policy, as well as the abolition of serfdom. They were passed by the Hungarian Diet in March 1848 in Pressburg (now Bratislava) and signed by Ferdinand V at the Primate's Palace in Bratislava on 11 April 1848, [cite web | publisher = City of Bratislava | url = http://www.visit.bratislava.sk/en/vismo/dokumenty2.asp?id_org=700014&id=1011&p1=1575 | title = Between the campaigns of Napoleonic troops and the abolition of bondage | accessdate = 8 June | accessyear = 2007] as a reaction to the Revolution of 1848. When the revolution was suppressed in 1849, Austria revoked the laws, and Hungary did not regain full internal autonomy until the Compromise of 1867.
