Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North German Confederation Immediately upon the close of the deliberations of the Reichs tag, which covered a period of two months, the constitution as amended was adopted by the assembly of envoys, whereupon it was submitted by the governments to the legislatures of their several states and approved by the latter in the form prescribed for constitutional amendments in each state. The constitution thus adopted should have been promulgated either by the associated governments or by the governments and the Reichs tag jointly. It was, as Binding points out, an anomaly that a national constitution should be promulgated by state govern ments. Strangely, however, neither the manner of promulga tion nor the question when the new constitution should go into effect, had received any attention from what we may be justified in calling the new federal authorities. This omission was supplied by the state governments which promulgated the constitution, through the insertion of an identical provision that on the 1st of July, 1867, it should go into effect in the promulgating state. Ratification by state legislatures and promulgation on state authority are facts to which Seydel appeals as proof that the constitution is not a federal law but an identical law of the several states. Binding holds that the state patents issued by the state governments are incorrect in form, but that in principle they rest on the authority of the associated governments and of the Reichstag.
