Constitutions for Strelitz and Schwerin

March 3, 1905

Today, the Grand Dukes of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Mecklenburg-Schwerin announced that they will grant Constitutions "to their respective duchies."
Strelitz and Schwerin are the only two German states that do not have Constitutions, which has "given rise to frequent criticism in the Reichstag in recent years." The action taken by both Grand Dukes is seen as a "response to outside criticism."
