Prussian constitutional dispute (English: Verfassungskonflikt) German

Japanese: プロイセン憲法紛争 - ぷろいせんけんぽうふんそう（英語表記）Verfassungskonflikt ドイツ語

In 1860, the Prussian government presented a plan to increase the armaments and reform the military system, including the implementation of a three-year active duty system. The liberals, who held a majority in the lower house at the time, opposed this, leading to a fierce conflict between the government and the lower house. The background to this was the conflict over whether the army should be directly under the king and completely independent of parliament, or under parliamentary control (especially with parliament having the power to decide on the military budget). This developed into a conflict over the nature and form of the Prussian constitutional system. Furthermore, the formation of the German Progressive Party (Fortschrittspartei) by a group of left-wing liberals (1861) and Bismarck's appointment as chancellor (1862) further intensified the conflict between the lower house and the government.

1860年プロイセン政府は，3年現役制の実施をふくむ軍備増強･軍制改革案を提示した。当時，下院の多数派であった自由主義者たちはこれに反対し，政府と下院の激しい対立へと発展した。その背景には国王に直属し議会から完全に独立した軍隊か，議会の統制下(とくに軍事予算の決定権を議会のもとにおく)の軍隊か，という対立があった。このことはプロイセン憲法体制の性格とあり方をめぐる対立へと発展した。さらに自由主義者左派グループによるドイツ進歩党Fortschrittsparteiの結成(1861)とビスマルクの首相就任(1862)は，下院と政府の対立をいっそう激化させた。
