I'm a little rusty with my Austrian leaders, but I believe that he freed the serfs and made a number of reforms beneficial to the lower classes of Austria. They failed mainly because of the conservative sentiment in Austria at the time, as well as the fact that the serfs had nowhere to go after they were freed. Esentially, the reforms were a good idea but bad when put into practice.
