Early state consolidation produced early contentious peaks that subsided under high-capacity rule
Evidence
As the recent history just canvassed suggests, however, changes in the prevalent forms of revolutionary coalitions followed contrasting rhythms in different regions. Regions of relatively early state consolidation included the Low Countries, France, and the British Isles. Those regions saw early peaks of communal, patron-client, and dynastic revolutionary coalitions in reaction to that very consolidation. But once fairly high-capacity governments took control of the same regions, revolutionary coalitions formed less frequently and shifted toward the national and class coalition types. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1043
