Excerpt from The Constitutional Review, Vol. 1: April-October, 1917

In the German Empire, the exactly opposite condition prevails. There every good and perfect gift is believed to come down from above. The Reich stag, though elected by universal suf frage and secret ballot, is in effect little more than a debating society, with power to obstruct new legislation, but obliged to submit all its own proposals to the Bundesrath, a non-elective body representing the sovereigns, before it can act upon them. This is just what Bismarck, who hated parliamentary government, intended it to be.
