The compromise character of the Ger

parent than in the sections relating to
the executive. The leading provision il
that the king of Prussia is president
OF the confederation (bupd), with the
title Of German emperor. The alter
native styles OF emperor of Germany"
and emperor of the Germans" were
discussed at Versailles and rejected. AS
the crown of Prussia is hereditary In
the male line of the royal house. there
must always be king or n regent on
its throne. Hence the presidency can
never be vacant. The king OF Prussia
