[[File:FratellisSquare.jpg|thumb|left|Fratelli's Square, the site of the 1815 protests]]On the 9th of November 1815, protesters stormed the city square in Serria, in front of the Palace of the Grand Master, and demanded a democratic system to be implemented. Inspired by revolutions against Dolfik colonies in Serthenia and in other nations, these protesters demanded the establishment of a parliamentary system. Originally, Grand Master Luca IV objected to this idea, as he had just entered the sphere of power in Serria and was reported by many aides to be stubborn to release it. This, however, was dangerous, as the mob that originally formed a peaceful protest broke into a military armory and demanded reform or revolution, led by graduate philosopher Antonio Roberto Fallini. To maintain stability and order, Pope Luca IV conceded, albeit begrudgingly. Following two years of political deliberation, a consensus was reached and ratified in January of 1818 that consisted of elected Dukes, instead of appointed ones. These would form Congress of Dukes (contemporarily referred to today as Parliament), which would then influence the College of Cardinals, the government's highest authority. Although the Cardinals still elected the Grand Master, a new position was also created, titled the 'Minister-President', which assumed the duties of Head of Government, relieving much of the expanded papal authority. This revolt had brought back the democracy that was removed from the nation during the Rinascita, and it satisfied the protestors enough that historians believe it prevented violent revolution.
