"Strong State" in Political and Legal Views of the German Chancellor Otto von Bismark
The author attempts to formulate his idea of the political and legal views of Prince Otto von Bismarck on the problem of the formation of the German state. Being at the origins of this process, Bismarck polished the model of a future united, strong Germany, based on the existing political, military, historical and ideological conditions. In the minds of the “Iron Chancellor”, the image of a strong state was formed from the formation of German identity (the national question), a monarchical form of government built on the platform of the Christian religion and sealed by a powerful army.
