Book Description
Germany was a federal state, that is to say, above the member states, which renounced a part of their individual independence to strengthen their collective political and economic power, there existed a central state in whose favor they had given up that degree of independence—the German Empire. In the Reich sovereign power belonged to an assembly of Princes and of governments represented by the Bundesrat or Federal Council. This council which consisted of representatives of all the member states shared with the Reichstag the power to initiate and vote legislation. It promulgated the general administrative measures necessary for the execution of the laws; and with the consent of the Emperor it could dissolve the Reichstag. The nation was presided over by the German Emperor. He exercised generally the rights which modern nations reserve to the executive power. In particular he represented the Empire in its international relations; promulgated its laws; watched over their execution; appointed civil and military officials, etc. Several remarkable details have to be pointed out. Although in principle the Emperor’s actions had to be countersigned by a minister he was free from that restriction in such matters as concerned military affairs, particularly in the nomination of the superior officers of the army and the navy. The German Emperor was the absolute chief of the forces of the Empire on sea and land. Furthermore, although he could not declare war without the consent of the Bundesrat he could act on his own authority in case of attack by a foreign power against the territory or the coasts of the German Confederation. The Emperor nominated the Chancellor, who was after the Emperor himself, the sole chief of the political and administrative organization of the Empire. “The Chancellor,” says Article 15, “presides over the Bundesrat and directs its labours.” But as he clearly could not himself assume such an overwhelming task, he was authorized by the law of March 17, 1878, to call assistance and be supplemented at need by high functionaries placed at the head of Imperial departments—those of foreign affairs, of the interior, justice, treasury, railroads, marine, colonies, posts and telegraphs. These officials carried the title of State Secretaries, which seemed to give them something of the nature of ministers, though in reality they were completely subordinated to the Chancellor. Just as the Bundesrat represented the federated Princes so the Reichstag represented the German people. Elected by direct and universal suffrage the Reichstag had the right to initiate legislation; and no law was operative unless it had obtained a majority both in the Bundesrat and in the Reichstag. Furthermore the Reichstag had the right to interpellate, not the Secretaries of State but the Chancellor himself and to ask questions; and discussions of a question could be closed by voting an expression of the confidence of the Assembly.

Book Description
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this very useful analysis of constitutional law in Germany provides essential information on the country’s sources of constitutional law, its form of government, and its administrative structure. Lawyers who handle transnational matters will appreciate the clarifications of particular terminology and its application. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes the specific points at which constitutional law affects the interpretation of legal rules and procedure. Thorough coverage by a local expert fully describes the political system, the historical background, the role of treaties, legislation, jurisprudence, and administrative regulations. The discussion of the form and structure of government outlines its legal status, the jurisdiction and workings of the central state organs, the subdivisions of the state, its decentralized authorities, and concepts of citizenship. Special issues include the legal position of aliens, foreign relations, taxing and spending powers, emergency laws, the power of the military, and the constitutional relationship between church and state. Details are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for both practising and academic jurists. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Germany will welcome this guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative constitutional law.

Book Description
Excerpt from Two Aspects of the German Constitution: A Thesis But, while according to this Article the members of the Federal Council are representatives of the members states, Article 9 calls it their function to represent the views of their respective governments. Article 9 begins: Every mem ber of the Federal Council has the right to appear in the Imperial Diet (reichstag), and has to be heard there on his demand at any time to represent the views of his govern ment. And again in contrast with Article 9, the preamble to the Constitution of the North German Federation, which latter was the predecessor of the present German Empire, enumerates the nineteen North German princes and the sen ates of the three free cities, and declares that they make an eternal union. This preamble sounds as if the princes and the senates were the parties to the transaction, and are now the members of the union. The question arises now, How can we unite these seem ingly contradictory passages where in one of them the mem ber states, in another the governments of the states, and in a third the sovereigns of the states seem to be considered the members of the empire? My standpoint-is this. It is impossible to deny that Article 6 calls the member states the members of the empire. But Prof. Laband is right in saying that the princes are the legitimate representatives of their respective states, and that they therefore together with the three senates may be considered the members of the empire and it is in this sense that the preamble to the Constitution of the North German Federation treats the princes and senates as the members of the empire. And finally it means the same thing whether one says either that the allied princes and sen ates, or that the allied governments are the members of the empire, and that for the reason that the term allied govern ments is so wide that it is applicable to the executives of all the German member states, of the twenty-two monarchies among them as well as of the three republics, and of the absolute monarchies as well as of the constitutional ones. This part of my explanation would reconcile the preamble to Article 9. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
