Download or read book The Government of Germany Classic Reprint written by Charles Downer Hazen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of Germany The German Empire is a confederation, founded in 1871, and founded by the princes, not by the people, and consists of 25 States and one Imperial Territory, alsace-lorraine. The King of Prussia is ipso facto German Emperor. The legislative power rests with two bodies, the Bundesrat, or Federal Council, and the Reichstag. The Emperor declares war with the consent of the Bundesrat, the assent of the Reichstag not being required. Not even the Bundesrat need be consulted if the war is defensive, and as the Hohen zollerns have always claimed to make defensive warfare it is not surprising that even the unrepresentative Bundesrat was officially informed about the present war three days after the Emperor declared it. He is commander in chief of the army and navy, he has charge of foreign affairs, and makes treaties, subject to the limitation that certain kinds of treaties must be ratified by Parliament. He is assisted by a chancellor, whom he appoints and whom he removes, and who is responsible to him and to him alone. Under the chancellor are various secretaries of state, who simply ad minister departments, but who do not form a cabinet, either in the English or French or American sense. They are responsible to the chancellor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Founding of the German Empire by William I, Vol. 3: Based Chiefly Upon Prussian State Documents At the same time the long continuance of the men archical connection brought about various changes in the system of personal union, which took place natu rally and in accordance with the requirements of an undeniable fitness of things. The Sovereign could not. Have one foreign policy as Duke of schleswig-holstein and another as King of Denmark. It would have been very disadvantageous to the Duchies themselves, if the navy of the Crown had not formed a united whole. In the army the Duchies kept their own regiments, with national colors and a national corps of Officers, both the soldiers of the line and of the garrisons being always natives of the country; but the supreme authority and the highest posts were reserved for the common Government at Copenhagen.

Download or read book National Governments and the World War Classic Reprint written by Frederic A. Ogg and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Governments and the World War The general plan of the present volume difiers from that of the first edition. A number of chapters dealing with the govem ments of minor states have been omitted. Chapters devoted to austria-hungary have likewise been dropped, and no attempt has been made to cover the governments of the several lesser states which have risen from the wreckage of the former Habs burg dominion. On the other hand, the space allotted to Great Britain is almost doubled, that given to France is practically tripled, and a closing chapter undertakes to set forth the salient features of soviet government in Russia. Italy continues to be treated somewhat briefly, because of the general similarity of the Italian and French political systems. Switzerland is dealt with substantially as before. In the case of Germany I have decided to retain chapters describing the governments and parties both of the Empire and of Prussia up to 1918, partly because every student of comparative government ought to be familiar with the former German system, and partly because more of the old system than is commonly supposed survives in the new. I have, however, added two chapters which are designed to outline German political development during the Great War and to describe the republican institutions set up in 1918. In this portion of the book I have drawn fre'ely upon chapters which appeared in a volume prepared in collaboration with Dr. Charles A. Beard and published in 1918 under the title National Governments and the World War. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Emperor and the German Government: An Address Delivered Before the Germanistic Society of America, January 5, 1909 Fully and guardedly. They certainly were not moved by the hope of securing out of the turmoil the introduction of the parliamentary system of government. But almost without exception they were guided by the men who have been protesting against the centralizing tendencies of re cent years, the states rights men, the modern particularists. Consciously or unconsciously to themselves, I am fully persuaded that their particularism was the secret force which caused them to exaggerate the supposed effects of His Majesty's remarks on the diplomacy and government of the Empire. Through this sentiment they were actually betrayed into a position in which they appeared to the outside world to be acting in harmony with the advocates of parliamentary government, for the purpose of curbing what these latter termed personal government. It be came quickly manifest, however, that this apparent har mony was only momentary and that the nation as a whole is making no demand for parliamentary government, but that, on the contrary, the large majority of the people, and that majority containing the best elements of the people, would most probably oppose its introduction. Being anxious that my own fellow countrymen should understand this situation correctly, I am going to examine into this question of parliamentary government for Germany with some degree of minuteness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men Who Have Made the New German Empire: A Series of Brief Biographic Sketches Had Bismarck been able to plead the cause of government personally before the Reichstag, there can barely be a doubt but he would have fully succeeded in carrying with him the votes of the national-liberals and the more reasonable of the progressists. Unhappily, the chancellor's illness had thrown the entire machinery out of gear. When Atlas bends, however slightly, the burthen he carries must necessarily begin to oscillate.

Download or read book Outline of Prussian History to 1871 Classic Reprint written by Ernest F. Row and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline of Prussian History to 1871 The German Empire to-day consists of twenty-six separate and individual states, each having its own ruler and its own government, but combined for certain purposes, like the United States of America, into a federal union under the hereditary sovereignty of the King of Prussia. This federal empire was established in 1871, after Prussia had defeated in turn her two great rivals, Austria and France. It was the creation of Bismarck and the then King of Prussia, and in the arrangements made for its administration Prussia was deliberately given the preponderance of power in its government - which preponderance it still retains. We have to see, therefore, how Prussia gradually attained to this position of leadership among the many German states. The history of Germany for the last two hundred years is the history of the rise of Prussia, and the history of Prussia is largely the history of the house of Robert zollern.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German African Empire Once bit, twice shy, is accepted as a rough formula of English diplomatic methods, but in all the preliminaries which prepared the way for the proclamations of Germany's territorial annexations in Africa, the British Foreign and Colonial Offices were four times bitten without betraying a single symptom of their proverbial shyness. In the whole business, the German Imperial Government did more than lay the foundations of her transitory Colonial Empire it embarked upon a national course of duplicity, lying, bad faith, and general roguery which culminated in the violation of Belgium, and thereby built for itself a monument of dishonour which will endure until the end of the world. And the monument of blindness and perversity erected by Mr. Gladstone's administrations in their relations with Bismarck in 1883 and 1884 will not be less enduring.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The General Staff and Its Problems, Vol. 1: The History of the Relations Between the High Command and the German Imperial Government as Revealed by Official Documents What I am giving now is a series of significant documents drawn from existing originals. At the time a good deal of the negotiation was carried on by word of mouth but it was always along the same lines as are revealed in the written records. From my sphere of activity as Director of the Concentration Section of the Great General Staff I have taken the letters which-form Chapter I. In order to show what great pains the General Staff took to build up the army of the German Empire and enable it to face the coming war in a military sense. My object in reproducing diplomatic documents, though some of them are already known, is to bring home to every German that a peace of understanding was unattainable, and to reveal how much was kept secret from the Supreme Command by the Imperial Government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from And the Kaiser Abdicates: The German Revolution, November, 1918 August, 1919 Much of the history told deals with matters of which the author has personal knowledge. He had been for several years before the war resident in Berlin as an Associated Press correspondent. He was in Vienna when the Dual Mon archy declared war on Serbia, and in Berlin during mobili zation and the declarations of war on Russia and France. He was with the German armies on all fronts during the first two years of the war as correspondent, and was in Berlin two weeks before America severed diplomatic relations with Germany. The author spent the summer of 1917 in Russia, and watched the progress of affairs in Germany from Stock holm and Copenhagen during the winter of 1917-18. He' spent the three months preceding the German Revolution in Copenhagen, in daily touch with many proved sources of information, and was the first enemy correspondent to enter Germany after the armistice, going to Berlin on November 18, 1918. He attended the opening sessions of the National Assembly at Weimar in February, 1919, and remained in Germany until the end of March, witnessing both the first and second attempts of the Spartacans to overthrow the ebert-haase government. The author's aim in writing this book has been to give a truthful and adequate picture of the matters treated, without any tendency whatever. It is not pretended that the book exhausts the subject. Many matters which might be of inter est, but which would hinder the straightforward narration of essentials, have been omitted, but it is believed that noth ing essential to a comprehension of the world's greatest political event has been left out.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial Germany: A Lecture This events associated with the foundation and development of the new German Empire constitute the most important episode in the history of Europe since the fall of Napoleon. They stand as the culmination of a series of events beginning with the Prussian reaction against French domination in 1813. To be understood, they must be viewed in the light of the failure of the arrangement effected by the Congress of Vienna, and of the more or less aimless struggles embraced under the general designation of the Revolution of 1848.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Democratic and Parliamentary Usurpation Now it must be conceded that the chief purpose of the Articles of Union was to form a general government under one crown and to preserve the autonomy of each of the three states in this union in their original contractual condi tion. That is, Parliament has no authority under its fran chise to change the sufl'rage, land-tenure, and representa tion in any of the three kingdoms from what they were at the time of the framing of the compact. The principle is the same in the Articles of the Constitution of the United States, only in America ideas on this subject are not so foggy as to permit Congress to interfere and alter the suf frage and representation in the federated States. Con gress could not abolish the Senate or determine for any State how its Senators were to be chosen. Nor could in Germany the Reichstag abolish the kingdoms and nobilities of any of the componant states of the German Empire. In like manner, Parliament cannot abolish the House of Lords, change the suffrage in Ireland and Scotland, or alter the representation of their nobilities or their powers in'the states.
