The period following the elections to the Frankfurt National Assembly (also known as the German National Assembly or the Frankfurt Parliament) in the summer of 1848 saw, among other things, the establishment of a constitutional committee entrusted with drafting a charter of basic rights. The charter was passed on December 27, 1848, but was never enforced. The committee included parliamentarians from the entire political spectrum, such as Prince Felix von Lichnowsky (1814–1848) from the ultraconservatives (murdered by a Frankfurt mob in September 1848) and Robert Blum (1807–1848) from the democratic left (summarily executed in Vienna by imperial troops in November of that year). The image shows (top row, from left to right) Carl Welcker, Heinrich Simon, Friedrich Dahlmann, Heinrich Ahrens; (second row) J. L. Tellkampf, Felix Lichnowsky, F. D.
