Kaiser: 'Never will I permit a written sheet of paper to come between our God in heaven and this land ... to rule us with its paragraphs and supplant the old, sacred loyalty'
Corporations: 'The union is a third-party or outsider interfering with the company’s family.'
I read the first quote and couldn't help thinking I'd heard that logic before. Then it clicked. I can't help but wonder if people who oppose unions would also oppose the constitution for the same reason.
Frederick William IV famously refused the Frankfurt Parliament’s offer to reign as German emperor, despite the fact that he was pro-unification. Wilhelm I, the man who would later become the first German emperor, likewise opposed Bismarck’s plans to orchestrate wars with Austria and France to achieve unification—for example, he acceded to French demands and withdrew a Hohenzollern prince from the Spanish throne.
Why were the Prussian monarchs against a German pan-nationalist movement that would bring more land and glory to Prussia?

If some revolutionaries came up to me and said, "We're making a new, very big state that's very existence is gonna change the balance of power on the continent*, do you want to lead it," I'd say yes in a heart beat. But Frederick William IV rejected the offer. Why?
*The creation of the German Empire in 1871 upset the balance of power of the Concert of Europe, as one would expect from a couple dozen countries coming together to make one big one, so I foresee that this would upset it even more, seeing as it was larger. Then again, this one would be created after a revolution, not after defeating one of the great powers of Europe hot off the heels of a victory against another four years prior, so maybe it'd be different.

LSU President William Tate IV invited to White House to discuss LSU’s COVID-19 mitigation measures
What measures? The faculty asked for online teaching and they didn't get it.
In our world, William ended up having ten illegitimate kids with his common-law wife, but no proper child as heir. Because of this, when he died, the throne went to his niece, Victoria, and the rest is history.
I'm not sure if British law of time allowed legitimizing illegitimate kids, so this may be more a case of him having a different child entirely. Though, if it was legal, either would work.
What if he had a legitimate child?
