Many of these families stuck to their old house laws and outdated constitutions for way too long. The requirement for equal marriages in this day and age is just unrealistic. Yet, ironically, I support Georg Friedrich of Prussia's claim as the head of the house. I stand buy Louis Ferdinand's right to select his heir, which he did, even though I may disagree with his stance on the equal marriage requirement.
