overnmental machinery and public policy of the two are maintained in
common. The laws which comprise the basis of the arrangement are the
product of international compact. They provide no means by which they
may be amended, and they can be amended only in the manner in which
they were adopted, i.e., by international agreement supplemented by
reciprocal parliamentary enactment.[710]

the Hungarian Chamber November 23, 1903, Count
Istvan Tisza sought to demonstrate that, properly,
there is no such thing as an Austro-Hungarian
Ausgleich--that the two instruments of 1867 are not
only of different date but are essentially
independent, each being revocable at will by the
power by which it was enacted. An able polemic in

F. Tezner, Ausgleichsrecht und Ausgleichspolitik
(Vienna, 1907). Tezner is an Austrian publicist.]

I. THE COMMON ORGANS OF GOVERNMENT (p. 510)

*562. The Emperor-King.*--Of organs of government which the two
dominions possess in common, and by which they are effectually tied
together administratively, there are three: (1) the monarch; (2) the
ministries of Foreign Affairs, War, and Finance; and (3) the
Delegations. The functions and prerogatives of the monarch are
three-fold, i.e., those which he possesses as emperor of Austria,
those which belong to him as king of Hungary, and those vested in him
as head of the Austro-Hungarian union. In theory, an
