Leveller mobilisation, 1649

This report details the response by the republican Council of State to the Levellers' political mobilisation after the execution of Charles I and the abolition of the monarchy. It reflects the Council's determination to put an end to the dissemination of inflammatory pamphlets attacking the government, and their reaction to large public meetings where people heard the Levellers' latest ideas and were encouraged to subscribe to their petitions.
