Imperiale Gesetzgebung und Kaiserliche Selbstverteidigung - Kodifikationstendenzen im europäischen und ungarischen Strafrecht an der Wende des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts

The strict but often unregulated and outdated requirements for the crimes of treason and insult to the monarch, as well as the broad interpretation and application of procedural rules, which were often interpreted as royal prerogatives, ultimately led to an uncontrollable and arbitrary situation, with extraordinary jurisdictions and harsh punishments for extraordinary crimes. The legislature of the 18th and 19th centuries attempted to create modern rules that incorporated the doctrines of the Enlightenment and natural law, and were expected to precisely regulate political crimes.
