What role did Camillo Benso, count di Cavour play in the granting of Piedmont’s liberal constitution?

Camillo Benso, count di Cavour, played a leading role in persuading King Charles Albert to grant a liberal constitution in Piedmont as the revolutionary fervor of 1848 approached.1

Prior to this, Cavour had become increasingly focused on politics, taking advantage of the King's decision to implement reforms and grant freedom to the press. He utilized his newspaper, Il Risorgimento, to champion these reforms and advocate for the constitution. Following the granting of the Statuto Albertino (Albertine Statute) in March 1848, Cavour continued to be a significant political figure, eventually becoming prime minister and guiding the state through the process of Italian unification.123
