They may vote a lack of confidence

Ministers will go right on as long

They have taught that the complete,
uncontrolled power of the Govern
ment" (Regierung) is in the power
of the Prince. that the granting of
constitutions did not mean the recog-
milton of popular sovereignty in the
/ slightest degree, that legislatures are
| not representative of the people but
/ are mere organs of the State, that
! legislatures have no right to bring
Ithe State to standstill, that is, have
no right to refuse budget until their
wishes are respected; that if they
do, they are acting not in constitu-
tional but in a revolutionary sense;
that if such a step is taken, then
it is the right of the sovereign to re
cur to the principle that existed be-
fore the granting of the constitution
absolute monarchy, and to do what
he regards as wise
German legislatures are imrotent
and ineffective. The effective seat
of political power in Germany is, as
, it has always been, in the monarchs
Germans may have the right to vote,
but Napoleon 1, and Napoleon III,
showed men (and Bismarck among
others) that that made no difference,
if the vote led nowhere, if the body
elected ~ the voters was carefully
and completely nullified by other
bodies over which the voters had no
control whatever.
The legislatures of Germany are
really only loyal councils, consultative
assemblies. Bismarck's defiance of
the Prussian Chamber and the voters
who elected it, in the Conflict Period,
from 1862 to 1866, has been decisive
for the fate of popular government
in Germany

The AIl-Powerful KING

Prince Won Bulow, the ablest Chan
cellor of the empire since Bismarck,
said in 1914: Prussia attained her
greatness as country of soldiers and
officials, and as such she was able
accomplish the work of German
union; to this day she is still, in all
essentials a State of soldiers and of
ficials." The governing classes are,
in Prussia, which in turn governs
Germany, the monarch, the aristoc-
racy, and bureaucracy of military
and civil officials. responsible to the
King alone. The determining factor
in the State is the personality of the
King.
Prussia has been the strongest OBJ
stacle the democratic movement of
the nineteenth and twentieth CEN
turtles has encountered. Germany in
1914 was less liberal than in 1S4S.
The most serious blow that the prin-
ciple of representative government
received during that century was the
one she had received at the hands of
Bismarck. We have expert testimony
of the highest and most official sort
that the effects of that blow are not
outlived. Prince Won Bulow writing
in 1914. said:
Liberalism, in spite of its change
of attitude in national questions, has
to this day not recovered from the
