censorship
 Metternich sent many troops out to suppress
revolts
 Austria supported French troops being sent
by the congress of Verona to calm unrest in

Revolution that made the Domestic Policy
 A new civil and penal code was issued in the
early 19th century
 Politics and culture was kept under close
