text_original: The first Reichstag of the Empire was elected in the month of March, 1871 ; after a short debate it accepted the Imperial Constitution, which was only a sort of reproduction of the Federal Constitution of 1867. Fourteen votes opposed any modification of the Constitution ; therefore Prussia, with its seventeen votes, remained mistress of the Federal Compact.
