Reforms concerning the political and administrative organization of Transylvania during the neo-absolutist decade

The neo-absolutist regime set up following the defeat suffered by the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-1849 effected a number of political and administrative reforms in Transylvania, introducing a centralized and uniform system based on proportional representation and on the equal rights of all Transylvanian nations, as well on the coincidence between the territorial and the fiscal and judicial units. The new organization of the Austrian Empire also brought with it the decline of the neo-absolutist regime, as the late 1850s saw a revival of provincial political autonomy, in the spirit of liberalism.
