constitution, however. that the Prus
| tian military system shall be main
Gained in all the states.
The Imperial German Constitution.
which has served as a basic for the
| existing Japanese constitution and for
tic nasccnt Chinese constitution, al
though II Is concerned chiefly in sep
arnting the jurisdictions OF federal
and state authorities in n confeder-
ated government. differs radically In
Principal from the constitution Of the
United States. which has served as
tlIs model OF the constitution makers
OF tbe Latin American uepubiics and
OF the selfyoverning colonies Of
Great Britain. The German constitu-
ton. like the great American charter.
Is system OF compromises: but un-
like the American fundamental law
IL is not a collection OF checks and
balances. The German constitution
grants concessions and iavors. but
1t is concerened chiefly with the bus
mess OF creating a powerful machine
for making the purposes OF govern
nent effective. The American cor
stitution on the other hand. is de-
signed In theory TO permit the people
and the states 10 control the federal
government, giving TO the Unioh
power over only such matters OF
legislation as require uniformity.
The result is the German constitu'
ton is more specific in terms. and
more nearly resembles an American
slate constitution OF the kind gen.
orally adopted In the last forty years.
For instance the German consdtu-
tion directly and specifically gives
to the Empire the right absolutely N
control all systems OF transportation.
and other public service utilities not
OF strictly local character. The
constitution In 1871 specifically di-
Iccted that the railway rates should
be Immediately reduced.
One of the curious features OF the
constitution is that It provides that
every attempt against the existence
integrity, security OF the constitution
of the German Empire is treason, and
shall be punished In the several
states according to the stnte laws
the further provision is male that
reasonable ofrenscs against the En-
pire, which # committed In one Of
the sovereign states againSs that
state. would be deemed high treason,
shall be deemed as treason against
the Empire; and that the deciding
t'ibuDal II such cases shall be the
Superior Court of Appeals OF the
three free towns, sitting at Lubbock.
Thus the Imperial German constltu-
tion eDtrusts the decision OF cases
involving the charge of high treason
10 the judges selected by the free
citizens of the three republics OF
Hamburg, Bremen and Lubbock In
this respect republican Germany is
acknowledged to be the superior OF
Eonarchial Germany
If the German people In their indl-
l;dunl states possessed the democrat
ic privileges granted by the imperial
constitution, their political condition
would not be nearly so bad as il is.
But unfortunately the individual
states possess great power. and in
the great and ail-powerful state of
Prussia. the people have little or no
voice in government AS a matter
of fact, in practice the Imperial gov
eminent is the inferior Of the Prus.
