普鲁士政治制度发展的独特模式源于19世纪初的改革。自由派官僚普遍赞同这样一个看法,即“自由主要是建立在行政制度而不是宪法上的”。行政制度的合理化是政治改革的关键,宪法政治则是行政改革的辅助。当行政自治方案、宪政计划遭遇普鲁士社会和历史的现状而流产之后,改革时期留下的合理的行政制度却代替“宪政自由”发挥了职能。 The unique model of Prussian political system development stems from the reforms of the early 19th century. Liberal bureaucrats generally agree with the view that “freedom is mainly based on the administrative system rather than the constitution.” The rationalization of the administrative system is the key to political reform, while the constitutional politics is the supplement to the administrative reform. When the program of administrative autonomy and constitutional planning ran into the abyss of Prussia’s social and historical status quo, the reasonable administrative system left behind during the reform period has played its part instead of “constitutional freedom.”
