In 1837, they protested against the abolition or alteration of the constitution of the Kingdom of Hanover by its new ruler, King Ernest Augustus, and refused to swear an oath to the king.

The company of seven was led by historian  Friedrich Christoph Dahlmann , who himself was one of the key advocates of the previous constitution. The other six were the  Germanist  brothers  Wilhelm  and  Jacob Grimm , famous collectors and publishers of folklore, known collectively as the  Brothers Grimm , jurist  Wilhelm Eduard Albrecht , historian  Georg Gottfried Gervinus , physicist  Wilhelm Eduard Weber , and theologian and orientalist  Heinrich Georg August Ewald . The significance of their protest can in part be traced to the creation of a  liberal  republic  in Germany.
