KING FRIEDRIC WILHELM III AND THE ELECTIVE RIGHTS OF THE PRUSSIAN CITIZENS IN THE EARLY XIX CENTURY

2 Volgograd State University
The representative assemblies which appeared in Prussia after 1808 can be characterized as “dragging out a miserable existence and powerless”. Most people believed that the representative assemblies were not enough so the King failed to fulfill his promise about All-Prussian people’s representation, nevertheless the political organizations made no complaints [9, p. XXII]. And “the people refrained from violence waiting patiently for the King to die; they were grateful to him for the reforms which he had implemented in the early days of his reign”.
