"Lückentheorie" ("gap theory") refers to a gap in the Constitution of the Kingdom of Prussia which was established following the revolutions of 1848. Otto von Bismarck exploited this issue in 1860 to solve a constitutional crisis involving the taxation of the Prussian people to pay for new military reforms.
