簡介
1356年金璽詔書
Golden Bull of 1356
1356年神聖羅馬帝國皇帝查理四世頒布的帝國大法，因鈐用金璽，故名。「金璽詔書」的目的是要把德意志統治者的選舉牢牢的置於七名選侯的手中，候選人只要得到多數票即可繼承皇位，不必另行討論，這樣就可以不理睬教宗提出的對競選者進行考察和對選舉進行批准的要求；皇帝空位時，由薩克森公爵和巴拉丁伯爵擔任攝政，這又否定了教宗的攝政要求。
英文簡介
Golden Bull of 1356
Constitution for the Holy Roman Empire promulgated by Charles IV. Stamped with a golden seal, the document gave seven electors the power to choose the ruler of Germany by a simple majority. It also specified the electors and established succession by primogeniture. Intended to eliminate papal influence in German political affairs, it did away with the pope's previous right to examine rivals and approve results, and also increased the power of the princes.
