Who did Hertling believe the government should depend on?
The emperor
The will of parliament
The will of the people
The church
Answer
Hertling believed the government should depend on the emperor, not the Reichstag. The emperor was the head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Hertling believed that the government should be able to make decisions without having to consult with the Reichstag, which was elected by the people. This would allow the government to be more efficient and decisive.
