²During 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.
