The <entity_1> (<entity_10>: Verfassung des Deutschen Reiches) was the basic law of the <entity_4> of 1871-1918, from <entity_5>, coming into effect on <entity_8>. <entity_10> historians often refer to it as Bismarck's imperial <entity_7>, in <entity_10> the Bismarcksche Reichsverfassung (BRV). According to the <entity_7>, the empire was a federation (federally organised national state) of 25 <entity_10> states under the permanent presidency of Prussia, the largest and most powerful state. The <entity_7> followed an earlier <entity_7> of 1 January 1871, the <entity_0>. That <entity_7> already incorporated some of the agreements between the North <entity_10> Confederation and the four <entity_10> states south of the River Main. It renamed the country to Deutsches Reich (conventionally translated to '<entity_4>') and gave the Prussian King the title of <entity_10> Emperor. The constitutions of 1 January 1871 and <entity_8> are both essentially an amended version of the North <entity_10> Constitution, which had likewise been instigated by Otto von Bismarck. A national assembly created in 1919 a new, republican <entity_7>: the <entity_2>, which has the same title in <entity_10> as its predecessor (Verfassung des Deutschen Reiches, or 'Constitution of the <entity_10> Reich'). The <entity_7> was signed by <entity_9>, the King of Prussia, acting in his capacity as Bundespräsidium of the North <entity_10> Confederation, the Kings of Bavaria, Saxony, and Württemberg, and the Grand Dukes of Baden and Hesse. In fact, the Übergangsgesetz of 4 March stipulated explicitly that the 1871 <entity_7> was still valid unless in contradiction to laws passed since <entity_6>. A <entity_2>, completely replacing the Imperial one, came into force in the Reich only on <entity_3>.
