  Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle (1818) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The congress convened in Aachen on October 1, 1818.
The immediate object of the conference being thus readily disposed of, the time of the congress was mainly occupied in discussing the form to be taken by the European alliance, and the "military measures," if any, to be adopted as a precaution against a fresh outburst on the part of France.
The congress, which broke up at the end of November, is of historical importance mainly as marking the highest point reached in the attempt to govern Europe by an international committee of the powers.

 Congress system - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Congress system is a diplomatic process adhered to between 1815 and 1822, under which all matters of international importance were discussed at meeting of all European powers in order to ensure uniform action on the part of all concerned.
The system was established in the Congress of Vienna and led to the subsequent Congress at Aix-la-Chapelle in 1818, Congress at Troppau in 1820, Congress at Laibach in 1821, and the Congress of Verona in 1822.
This allowed the congresses to be the most sparkling social events in European History, with brilliantly uniformed emperors, kings, princes, ministers and ambassadors attending to the lighter pursuits of dancing and love-making between the more serious bussiness of discussion, intrigue and spying.

CONGRESS (IN By congress is understood a meeting of ministers plenipotentiary or sovereigns of different states, having the power and mission to conclude a treaty of peace, determine the consequences of a treaty concluded, or settle undecided points of international law.
Among the number are the congresses of Cambrai, 1721-5; of Soissons, 1729; of Breda, 1747; of Focsani, 1772; of Bucharest, 1793; of Lille, 1797; of Rastadt, 1799; of Ghent and Châtillon, 1814.
The method pursued by congresses in their work is not uniform, and depends upon the more or less general character of the meeting, the number of states represented, and their reciprocal relations.

 WHKMLA : Restauration - Vienna Congress
The treatment of France at the Vienna Congress had been a matter of dispute; Russia and Prussia had demanded France to be forced to cede territory and to pay reparations; Austria and the United Kingdom favoured a lenient treatment of France, in order to prevent Russia's position in Europe becoming too strong; Metternich prevailed.
At the Vienna Congress, Europe's dynasties were represented, which desired, with modifications, the RESTAURATION of the ANCIEN REGIMES; however, in popular revolts and during the WARS OF LIBERATION, the bourgeoisie had made significant sacrifices, and they desired written Constitutions.
The Vienna Congress stipulated that individual sovereigns were to grant constitutions, a promise some rulers broke, while others promulgated conservative constitutions and only a few fulfilled expectations by promulgating liberal constitutions.
