Their main aim was protecting the civil rights of Dissenters (i.e. fighting against disabilities, etc. ). They found support in the Whig party. They had a selected committee of twenty-one who met regularly at the King's Head Tavern on Poultry, London.

They presented addresses to the Crown on behalf of all dissenters. They tended to support private influence over more public forms of protest.
