The Passing of Absolutism
 in the Old World
The Great Charter of Liberty for England Russia Used Influence in Effort Suppress Liberal Ideas in Germany
D G9 C

With the hand of democracy at the throat of the great Russian bear, the greatest of the absolute governments of lowed the fate of those of other Euro pean countries. and it's one man rule gives zee to the will of the people.
 The rise of constitutional govern ment and the overthrow of absolutism, that the present movement in Russia brings to mind. is subject far too large for a brief newspaper article, and yet skimming along the surface of history one lights upon many interesting facts that are doubly interesting at the pres ent time.
 The constitutional hereditary mon- archy of England presents itself first. Every schoolboy would at once bring up the magic words of Magma Charta You remember the disorder and unrest in England in the days of King John (1199- 1216) his defeat at the hands of Philip of France, his return to find the nobles "no longer banded together in secret conspiracies, but openly united in defi- mite claim for law and liberty" A vivid picture of their vigorous struggle and final victory is given by the historian, Green: Within a few days of the kings landing the barons again met at St. Edmundsbury. . At Christi mas they presented themselves in arms before the king and preferred thelr claim. The few months that followed showed John that he stood alone in the land. At Easter the barons again gath cred in arms at Brackley and renewed

tinguished themselves in various ways; the 355 members of the other house are elected by the people that have suffrage right.
 Now we come to the republic of France, with her past marked by abso- lutism and anarchy. It is at the very end of the eighteenth century here con: stitutional history begins, with the con- stitution forced upon Louis XVI. in 1791; the king at the mercy of the mob declaration made that all Frenchmen are ''citioyen" This constitution, of which such great things were expected. lasted less than year. Tt was be- cause the revolution partook much more of social than a political overthrow. The constitution had done all 1t could for the political part, but the social fab ric remained to be reformed" The year 1793 is the date of the Jocobin constitu- ton, which was intended merely to sat isfy the departments; 1t was never put into practice. Two years later we have the constitution of the directory. provid- ing for an executive directory. the coun- cil of the five hundred, the council of ancients. In 1799 the constitution of the consulate was put forth. republic in name and appearance. monarchical in fact the first consul to have autocrat- ic power. Presently follows. in 1874. the constitution of the restoration. Ma poleon in exile. Louis XVIII. called to the throne This constitution sane toned individual liberty. religious free dom and freedom of the press, and pro- claimed oblivion of all acts committed since the beginning of the revolution. The surmise is reasonable that if Ma poleon had not returned. the people might have forced the king to yield to really constitutional government: but Napoleon did return. the restoration was short-lived.I Now France tries the con stitution of the second republic. this fol- lowed by the constitution of the second empire; the former summed up as a "botch." the latter as extraordinary" to be interpreted as favoring dictator ship. But by and by the dictatorship falls. and there arises the third repub- lie. The constitution provided by this last republican form of government was put forth because of the alarming re- vival of imperialism.
 To digress little from our theme. but using ss apology the excuse that thought of Russia and ahsolutism to-day at once brings up Japan and existing conditions there. we call attention to the radical step taken when the mIksdo in 1898 gave his people a constitution. and the sys- tem of government of the Japanese ceased to be that of an absolute mon arehy.

their claim: Why do they not ask for my kingdom? cried John, in burst of passion; but the whole country rose as one man at his refusal London threw open her gates to the army of the barons, now organized under Robert Fitz- Walter, the marshal of the army of God and the Holy Church. The ex- ample ofthe capital was at once followed by Exeter and Lincoln, promises of aid came from Scotland and Wales; the northern nobles marched hastily to join their comrades in London. With seven horsemen in his train, John found him. self face to face with a nation in arms. Nursing wrath in his heart, the tyrant bowed to necessity and summoned the -barons to conference at Runnymede. An island in the Thames between Staines and Windsor had been chosen as the place of conference; the king en- camped on one bank, while the barons covered the marshy fiat, still known by the name of Runnymede, on the other. Their delegates met in the island be- tween them. The great charter was dis cussed, agreed to. and signed in a single day (June IS. A. D. 1215).
 Germany. the region now so nom- mated, is a most difficult nation to treat in so brief a paper; we can attempt only rapid summary. First. we may call attention to that part of the period of the old (Holy Roman) empire be- tween the twelfth and seventeenth cen turies. Some historians regard the cleo ton of Lothaire IT. Q125) by great as- semblage of nobles and church digni- taries as the origin of the German cleo toral college. In 1125. 113s and 1152, so- called free elections took place. but In these three there was unsnimity of choice. As time went on. double cleo tions occurred. there existed the dis turbing condition of opposing kings. The reign of Charles W. were marked by an event in the constitutional history of Germany. his golden bull (l365) "as- certained the prerogatives of the cleo toral college" and the dignity of cleo tor was enhanced. In reference to the German diets. the year 1255 Is the date of the first really representative as- semblsge. held at Worms Imperial diets and court diets had been those previously convened Little by little the influential cities grew in power. and there became recognized three cham bsrs: college of electors. college of princes. Graves and barOns; college of imperial cities. In the reign of Leopold I. (1ssT1705) a permanent diet was es- tablished-

confederation The object of the con- federation was the external and inter- nal security of Germany, and the in- reliability of the confederate states. From time to time demonstrations were made in the several states for rep resentation of the people. and some of the states adopted a constitutional form of government. During this period Rus sia Used her powerful influence to have liberal ideas suppressed in Germany. Next we come down to the new empire, modern Germany. Shortly after King of German emperor, the kaiser issued a proclamation with the consent of the council of the German confederation and of the imperial diet, decreeing the adoption of constitution for the chi pire. This constitution gives the en- peror power to represent the empire in- ternationally; the legislative functions are vested in the bundesrath and reichs- tag, the former representing the indiyid- ual states, the latter the German na- tion.
 In Austria, whose early history Is so closely interwoven with that of Ger many, absolutism received blow when union was made with Hungary; at the time of the union Austria adopting par liamentary institutions similar to those of the other nation in the dual mon- archy.
