In 1819, Metternich and other representatives from German states met in Karlsbad to stifle liberalism and nationalism through several decrees. These Karslbad decrees dissolved Burschenschaften, and censored books, newspapers and professors who spread liberal doctrines. Here are the stipulations to the decrees:
· Sect. 1 – The sovereign shall make choice for each university of an extraordinary commissioner, who will observe carefully the spirit with which professors guide their lectures
· Sect. 2 – The governments of the states can remove professors whom they believe to spread propaganda, and any professor released from their original institution cannot be admitted to any other public institution.
· Sect. 3 – Any secret of unauthorized associations at universities are still not permitted. The government shall mutually engage to not hire any person belonging to such an association.
· Sect. 1 of Press Rules – No writing appearing in the form of a daily paper shall be issued without consent of public authority
· Art. 1 – In fifteen days from this decree, an extraordinary commission of inquiry, appointed by the Diet, shall assemble in the city of Mentz
o The object of this commission is to make careful and detailed inquiries respecting secret revolutionary and demagogic associations, and the members thereof.
