The members of the imperial family within the order of inheritance bear the title of Potentates (Potentati).
== Article II ==

A senatus-consultum regulates the manner of the education of the French princes.
They are members of the Senate and of the Council of State when they have reached their eighteenth year.
They cannot marry without the authorisation of the Emperor.
The marriage of a French prince made without the authorisation of the Emperor entails deprivation of all right of inheritance, both for him who contracts it and for his descendants.
Nevertheless, if there is no child from this marriage, and it becomes dissolved, the prince who had contracted it recovers his rights of inheritance.
The documents which attest the birth, marriages, and decease of the members of the imperial family, are transmitted upon an order of the Emperor to the Senate, which orders their transcription upon its registers and their deposit in its archives.
Napoleon Bonaparte establishes by statutes, to which his successors are required to conform:
1st. The duties of the persons of both sexes, members of the imperial family, towards the Emperor;
2d. An organization of the imperial palace in conformity with the dignity of the throne and the grandeur of the nation.
The civil list remains as it has been regulated by articles 1 and 4 of the decree of May 26-June I, 1791.
The French princes, Joseph and Louis Bonaparte, and, for the future, the younger natural amid legitimate sons of the Emperor, shall be treated in conformity with articles 1, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the decree of December 21, 1790-April 6, 1791.
The Emperor can fix the jointure of the Empress and assign it out of the civil list; his successors can change none of the dispositions which lie shall have made in this respect.
The Emperor visits the departments: in consequence, imperial palaces arc established at the four principal points of the Empire.
These palaces are designated and their appointments determined by a law.
