Frankfurt Parliament
The first constitutional order of the German Empire was the "Imperial Law concerning the introduction of a provisional Central Power for Germany", on 28 June 1848. With the order, the Frankfurt Parliament established the offices of (Imperial Regent, a provisional monarch) and imperial ministers. A second constitutional order, the Frankfurt Constitution, on 28 March 1849, was accepted by 28 German states but not by the larger ones. Prussia, along with other German states, forced the Frankfurt Parliament into dissolution.
