‎Interesting sammelband containing two works by Caspar Heinrich Horn on constitutional law focusing on aspects of Roman-German public law and the political structure of the Empire, especially regarding the responsibilities and agreements surrounding the election of an emperor. The first workis a study of the public law of the Holy Roman Empire combining Roman legal principles with Germanic customs and practices. Horn examines the structure, powers and legal foundations of the Empire discussing how Roman legal concepts were adapted to fit the Germanic context. The second work is on the electoral capitulation of Emperor Charles VI.‎
