He asked the Liberal lawyer Johan Rudolf Thorbecke to devise a new and more democratic constitution for the Netherlands.
That of course was not how Thorbecke had meant it to be: it should be Ministers, together with the Parliament, and not the Monarch who ruled the country.
Of course, Thorbecke and other Liberals were in favour of democracy - but in 1848, they deemed universal suffrage (algemeen kiesrecht) simply a bridge too far.

 The end of consensus politics in the Netherlands Part III: The historical roots of consensus politics
In the nineteenth century, this tradition was consciously continued in order to safeguard the domination of the bourgeoisie against the working class, which emerged with industrialisation, and the revolutionary movement it threatened to spawn.
In 1848, farsighted middle-class politicians, led by the liberal Johan Rudolf Thorbecke, prevented the spread to the Netherlands of the revolutionary uprisings that had broken out all over Europe by implementing the first political reforms towards parliamentary democracy.
In 1848, Thorbecke, then prime minister and author of the parliamentary constitution, considered it very important to disassociate himself from neighbouring Prussia, its militarism and police-state tradition, at least when it came to home rule in the Netherlands.
