             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.
