The original task was to create a new constitutional structure for Germany after the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire eight years before. The princes of the German states wanted to keep their sovereignty, therefore the German Confederation was created as a loose confederation of independent monarchist states, but included four free cities as well. The founding act was the '' German Federal Act'' of June 8, 1815 (German: ''Deutsche Bundesakte'' [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

This constitution fulfilled the main demands of the liberal and nationalist movements of the Vormärz and provided a foundation of basic rights, both of which stood in opposition to Me ...
