An outstanding issue of Spanish Liberalism was its difficulty to integrate its different factions. Until a rather later period, well into the last third of the 19th. Century, this situation led to popular uprisings, promoted by the Middle Class and military politicians, which often included a call for a new constitutional foundation of the Spanish National state. This article outlines the popular appeal of this partly Middle Class, elitist Liberalism on the basis of a case study of the southern Valencian province of Alicante. Initially are studied the measures enacted by the last Government of the «Unión Liberal» in order to integrate the Progressive Liberals in political life. Secondly, continues to point out the refusal by Progressives and Republicans to accept this policy, as well as their resolution, in spite of their Middle Class standpoints, that a democratic uprising against the Queen and the Government was necessary, if liberty in Spain was to be saved.
