Alois Von Reding, along with the support of the federalists, formed a Tagatzung, the legislative and executive council of the Swiss Confederacy. The council was largely formed of senior representatives of the re-established Cantons. The Confederacy continued to face opposition in the form of the Republicans who were largely supportive of the ideas of abolition of sovereign cantons and feudalism. To establish peace with the Republicans, the Confederacy granted them liberty to express their beliefs and gave regular concessions. In spite of these measures, a sense of distrust and conflict between the two parties continued to persist.
