the period 1809-1876 there were two heads of government,
called Prime Minister for Justice and Prime Minister for
Foreign Affairs. These were equal in status, but soon
the Prime Minister for Justice evolved as the leading
force of the government, being informally called
Chancellor from 1858. On 20 Mar 1876 the post of Prime
minister was officially inaugurated.
