Baden liberalism

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Badische liberalism was an early 19th century in Baden resulting form of liberalism and constitutionalism .

Origin and meaning

Karl von Rotteck

The “Baden Liberalism” is seen as the most important “experimental field of early constitutionalism” in Germany (Langewiesche). It produced the variant of a constitutional monarchy that was also adopted by Prussia in 1849 and that determined the rule of the empire until the First World War . Important structural elements of Baden liberalism go back to the Freiburg professor, bestselling author and parliamentarian Karl von Rotteck , whose state encyclopedia, edited together with Carl Theodor Welcker , was the most important publication organ of liberal ideas in the Vormärz .
