The revolutionary period lasted from June 1917, until the full adoption of the People's Constitution in August 1918. It was sparked by the Kaiser's refusal to appoint the leader of the parliamentary left-wing coalition that won a majority in the 1917 federal elections. In 1918, the Kaiser again refused to appoint a left-wing prime minister, instead turning to a conservative and reactionary general, who proved ineffective in contending with the mass protests. In response, the Committees organised a general strike which crippled the economy. Following a failed government violent effort to break the strikes, the Socialist Worker's Party emerged as the leading force and its leader Heinrich Schrader openly began calling for revolution.

On August 1, the Imperial Navy mutinied, which rallied the SWP and its allies. Over the next three days over 350,000 people would march on Rahden, forcing the Imperial Family to flee to Passau, while the government under Prime Minister Wilhelm von Stanheim was caught attempting to escape and killed. Using radio, Heinrich Schrader declared the end of the monarchy and the Hechenreyt dynasty and proclaimed the “Liothidian Democratic People’s Republic.” On August 10, revolutionary militia entered Passau and murdered the Imperial Family. On August 12, the SWP and the subordinate Worker's League formally voted to adopt the People's Charter, an interim constitution, though it formally founded the Liothidian Democratic People's Republic. In the following weeks and months, thousands of aristocrats, business and land owners would be killed in revolutionary violence, known as the [[Überholung]], while the new regime rapidly reformed the state into the [[Ajax|world's]] first socialist republic.

Talaharan Constitution Sample.png

The Supreme Consensus of Talahara (Takelat: ⴰⵎⵙⴻⴼⵀⴰⵎ ⴰⵄⵍⴰⵢⴻⵏ ⵏ ⵜⴰⵍⴰⵀⴰⵔⴰ; Amsefham Aɛlayen n Talahara) is the constitution of the United Communes of Talahara. Drafted over a period of three years between 1838 and 1841, the first two parts of the Supreme Consensus enshrined the rights and freedoms of all persons in Talahara, in addition to democratic and usufructary rights. Part three of the Supreme Consensus was completed later in 1841 and codified the roles of the three branches of government and divisions of power between national, regional, and communal levels of government. Both laws created by the Legislative Councils of Talahara and the executive functions of government must abide by the protections and limitations enshrined by the Supreme Consensus. Constitutional principles are also used alongside Talaharan customary legal principles to interpret laws. The Supreme Consensus has been amended a total of four times. These amendments include the addition of the third part, electoral reform, and the addition of new rights and protections. Constitutional amendments require the passage of a provision by a two-thirds supermajority in the Supreme Legislative Council (34 of 50 members) and subsequent ratification by a two-thirds supermajority by the membership of the 1,250 Communal Legislative Councils in Talahara (8,334 of 12,500 members).
