In the Ottoman revolution of 1908, what kinds of changes did the Young Turks hope to bring to the Empire?

The Young Turks were a political movement in the Ottoman Empire that had been working illegally for liberal reforms and a constitutional form of government since the end of the 19th century. Their aim was to strengthen the Ottoman Empire, which was weakened in terms of foreign policy and threatened with decay internally, through systematic political, military and economic modernization. Their revolution in 1908 aimed at bringing down the Sultan, which had been exerting absolute power since 1876, and restore a democratic government.

A more modern & secular empire.
