	William I Of Prussia - LoveToKnow 1911
		of Prussia and Louise, a princess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
		William was not a ruler of the intellectual type of Frederick the Great; but he believed intensely in the "God of battles" and in his own divine right as the vicegerent of God so conceived.
		In his time Prussia became the first power in Germany and Germany the first power in Europe, though these momentous changes were due in a less degree to him than to Bismarck and Moltke; but to him belongs the credit of having recognized the genius of these men, and of having trusted them absolutely.

	Frederick William IV, King of Prussia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Born in 1795, Frederick William IV was the oldest of seven surviving children of Frederick William III and Queen Luise.
		After his father's death in June 1840, Frederick William responded to pressures for change in Prussian society by embarking upon a series of experiments (the United Committees of 1842, the Evangelical General Synod of 1846, and the United Diet of 1847), to transform state and church on the basis of his organic-corporative ideals.
		Though usually dismissed as an inconsistent fantast and a political failure, through his (and his advisers') stubborn insistence on maintaining a powerful monarchy, Frederick William IV played a key role in the process by which Prussia's conservative elites survived the revolution of 1848 and adapted co nstitutional structures to their own ends.

	Frederick William IV, King of Prussia by Frederick Engels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Frederick William IV is altogether a product of his time, a figure wholly and solely to be explained by the development of free thought and its struggle against Christianity.
		They may serve as proof of how intensely Frederick William IV is striving to re-introduce Christianity directly into the state, and to institute state legislation on the basis of the precepts of biblical morality.
		Hence Frederick William is also not absolutely illiberal and despotic in his endeavours — God forbid — he wants to allow his Prussians all possible freedoms, but actually only in the form of unfreedom, monopoly, and privilege.

		For all its problems, at least Prussia had stood up to Napoleon instead of bowing and scraping before as did the sycophant princes of the Confederation of the Rhine.
		Prussia's modernization of its military and economy were pragmatically rather than philosophically based: Prussia wanted to keep up with the French.
