Klappentext zu „Crosby, M: The Making of a German Constitution “
The Making of a German Constitution is one of the first books to explore the important place of the theory and practice of private law (civil law) in the transformation of Modern Germany's findesiÞcle constitutional arrangements.Reading sources from early nineteenthcentury private law scholarship, the book offers a thoughtprovoking and novel understanding of German political development. The author argues that the German idea of sovereignty grew out of a dual conception of law not only as the product of sociopolitical transformation, but also as a means to it.In the short term, a modern social and political system in Germany was attained through nonviolent means and the domestic authority of the Kaiser was severely limited by law. However, the exclusive bourgeois sociopolitical arrangements that were installed in this era led to considerable discontent in German society, particularly with regard to gender and class tensions. The slow B³rgerliche Revolutionö thus contributed to the traumatic ruptures that mark German history in the first third of the twentieth century.

Rezension zu „Crosby, M: The Making of a German Constitution “
'Reconnecting the socio-political history of modern Germany with legal history, Crosby offers an extraordinarily perceptive and methodologically innovative analysis of the covert constitutional transformation that was tantamount to the Kaiserreich's 'bourgeois revolution'.'V.R. Berghahn, Columbia University'This book combines German constitutional and social history with legal history of the 19th century up to the German codification of civil law (1896/1900). The viewpoints are original and the book includes the socialist criticism of the codification in favour of women. A new and not yet sufficiently discussed perspective.'Michael Stolleis, Max-Planck-Institut fur europaische Rechtsgeschichte
