They were concerned that the government was intruding upon the CofE. In 1832, there was a shift in Parliament, moving influence out of the hands of landed gentry, and into the hands of more middle class folks. Previously, the affluent and influential were the leaders of Parliament and the leaders of the CofE. Now the government was being led by people not in the CofE.

In 1833 some leaders within the church started preaching and writing tracts, emphasizing the independence of the church; the sacraments; etc. This movement was pushing towards church of unity—leaning towards Catholicism.

In other words, the church did not feel independent enough from the government to make decisions they felt were the best for the health of the church.
