A new system of constitutional types of women

Abstract

Trying to give here a new system of constitutional types of women, I thereby provoke in readers the idea that the presently existing systems are insufficient, why a new system is proposed. If this argument were not present, readers would have every reason to object: Why do we need a new system of constitutions? We have enough well-founded systems that work perfectly well in practice as it is! Why pile on unnecessary ballast and confuse the already complicated and confused science of the constitution? In order to protect myself from such objections, I must first of all prove the insufficiency of the existing systems of constitutional types. To prove this insufficiency I will stop on a critical analysis only of Kretschmer's system, because exactly this system enjoys at present the greatest recognition and wide application in practice.
