PRUSSIA

 

In 1861, the Tsar emancipated 22 million serfs. This was just the beginning. He wanted to make a series of reforms that would eventually lead to the Russian people having a constitution.

 

The idea of a liberated Russia and a constitution were anathema to Prussia. The 1776 US Declaration of Independence was an enemy to Prussia. If Russia did the same, Prussia would effectively be facing 2 liberated nations endowed with individual rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

 

This Prussian fear of such liberty is best described in a Hegel quote.
