A group of political radicals during the Civil War and the interregnum. Its origins lie in discussions within the New Model Army concerning soldiers' individual rights. They promoted: law reform, religious toleration and free trade. They wanted the franchise extended, a written constitution and for the government to be answerable to the People rather than to the King or Parliament. They did not call themselves the Levellers, this was a term used by their opposition.
