The basic aim of this article is to highlight the importance of constitutional transfer for European post-Napoleonic constitutionalism. The text analyses the actual “model-effect” of the Charte constitutionnelle as a prototype of “monarchical constitutionalism” by focusing on one practical example, namely the Baden Constitution of 1818, which is generally seen as a “copy” of the 1814 French Constitution. Such an understanding, however, turns out to be one-sided. Based on results both of comparative history and transfer research, the concrete relevance of the French “model” for Baden is put into new perspectives, which provide, finally, an analytical basis from which to gain further insights into the character, possibilities and limits of constitutional transfer and reception on a more general level.
