Combining campaign, repertoire, and WUNC displays asserted popular sovereignty.

Evidence

Taken singly, each of these elements drew on and adapted previously existing political practices, for example sporting of electoral colors, humble petitions to kings, or marches of militias, artisans’ guilds, and religious organizations. But the combination of campaign, repertoire, and WUNC displays acquired a generality and staying power none of its predecessors had ever achieved. Together, furthermore, they made a powerful assertion of popular sovereignty: we, the people, have the right to voice on our own initiative; worthy, united, numerous, and committed, we have the capacity to change things. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 347
