The German Emperor and the German Government: An Address Delivered Before the Germanistic Society of America, January 5, 1909 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The German Emperor and the German Government: An Address Delivered Before the Germanistic Society of America, January 5, 1909
Fully and guardedly. They certainly were not moved by the hope of securing out of the turmoil the introduction of the parliamentary system of government. But almost without exception they were guided by the men who have been protesting against the centralizing tendencies of re cent years, the states rights men, the modern particularists. Consciously or unconsciously to themselves, I am fully persuaded that their particularism was the secret force which caused them to exaggerate the supposed effects of His Majesty's remarks on the diplomacy and government of the Empire. Through this sentiment they were actually betrayed into a position in which they appeared to the outside world to be acting in harmony with the advocates of parliamentary government, for the purpose of curbing what these latter termed personal government. It be came quickly manifest, however, that this apparent har mony was only momentary and that the nation as a whole is making no demand for parliamentary government, but that, on the contrary, the large majority of the people, and that majority containing the best elements of the people, would most probably oppose its introduction. Being anxious that my own fellow countrymen should understand this situation correctly, I am going to examine into this question of parliamentary government for Germany with some degree of minuteness.
