Talk:Russian Constitution of 1906

Head of State's Title

The Head of State's legal and official title was "Emperor of all Russia, etc.". "Tsar" was an informal style used both inside and outside of Russia for Russia's ruler (in other monarchies, such as Bulgaria, "Tsar" is properly translated as "King"). Although the Head of State's full title did include, legally, "Tsar" of a number of historical realms absorbed into the Russian Empire, the title "Tsar of Russia" no longer existed, having been superceded by "Emperor" since 1721.

The references to "Tsar" in the Constitution's clauses are inaccurate. The word used was always "Emperor", and that word should be substituted in this article. Lethiere 19:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed. Done. `'Míkka 05:56, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I am currently giving this article a major expansion and work-over, and while I have retained "Emperor" wherever this term is used formally (in the constitution itself, for example), I have used "Tsar" elsewhere (or "monarch," "sovereign," etc.) to provide varity. Hopefully, I have stayed within the spirit of the above comments, with which I fully concur. - Ecjmartin (talk) 14:48, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
