summary
Includes the Prussian Jewish Edict of Emancipation (pp.17-22).
The Edict freed Jews from the special taxes and restrictions on movement and marriage that had encumbered Jewish life in the kingdom of Prussia. It stated that Jews were forthwith "nationals and citizens of Prussia" who shared the rights and obligations of their Christian fellows. Prussian Jews were now free to live and to conduct commerce wherever and with whatever goods they wished - although they continued to be excluded from positions of political authority
