The governmental and social changes initiated under Ahmed Bey stamped the era as one of modernizing reform in Tunisia. Qabadu became an important insider of the reforming 'party' led by the bey's minister Khair al-Din.[9] These reforms continued under the next two rulers, Muhammad Bey and Sadok Bey. Much later this reform era, including Qabadu's contributions, formed an historic platform for the construction of further republican reforms after independence.[10]
