The government abolished many of the authoritarian measures of the previous government and oversaw electoral reform and the Bulgarian Declaration of Independence. As a result it prepared constitutional amendments, changing the monarch's title from Prince to Tsar and increasing his powers at the expense of the National Assembly.Kumanov, Milen. Political organizations and movements in Bulgaria and their leaders 1879-1949, Sofia 1991. In 1911, during negotiations with Russia and Serbia regarding the formation of a Balkan alliance in a future war with the Ottoman Empire, Tsar Ferdinand dismissed the government and appointed a more Russophile one led by Ivan Geshov and scheduled elections for a Grand National Assembly to approve the prepared amendments.Tsurakov, Angel.
