It was the first democratic constitution adopted in Germany. It envisaged the creation of a German Empire dominated by the Royaume of Prussia within the framework of the Solution small-allemande. The Empire would have been organized like a Constitutional monarchy hereditary functioning according to the great principles of the liberal parliamentarism .
It was never applied because of the hostility of the sovereigns, in particular of the king Frederic-Guillaume IV of Prussia, to which it Parliament had allotted the new imperial crown and which refused it in the name of the divine Droit kings.
