Six Articles (1832)

1832 · 19th century

The Six Articles were repressive measures adopted by the Federal Assembly of the German Confederation on 28 June 1832, after the Hambach Festival. Promoted by Metternich, they restricted the rights of state parliaments to refuse taxes or legislate against federal law and set up a commission to watch over them. Further decrees banned political associations and public meetings.
