Kaiser became known as a proponent of the rights of the common people or serfs in his home country.

During this year, the political climate changed dramatically in Europe, and the citizens of Liechtenstein began demanding a liberalization of their rights under the constitution, including free elections.

Initially, Prince Alois promised constitutional reform and a public works program, but this did not abate the revolutionary ferver.

Kaiser, who was a member of the local revolutionary committee, sought to avoid violence by appealing directly to the Prince, and due to his standing, was heard.

Kaiser is credited with helping to define the "Liechtenstein identity", and a memorial to him was erected in Mauren in 1955.
