Ayatollah is a religious rank, not a specific group of individuals at a specific time. As a result, Ayatollahs have demanded many different things at different periods of time. If the question is specifically referring to the Ayatollahs of Iran in the second half of the 20th century, those Ayatollahs were demanding increasing adherence by the government to Shiite Islamic Law.
