The Prussian king refused the crown because he still wanted the consent of the German princes and free cities and the imperial constitution. But why did he still get the crown?

Loading...Hi, can someone help me with history? I need it by tomorrow. I'm at the first stage. It says "Repair," but I can't get any further. I would be very grateful if you could help me.
Please only share positive aspects. Thanks 🙂
I sometimes wonder which diagnoses of today would apply to people of the past centuries. If we look at the more "extreme" times, like the times of persecution and burning, and so on.
In my history homework, task 4 of the "Never Again War!" worksheet for Grade 9 History requires me to write a key statement for each text in the five sources. It's about the First World War.

To revisit an old question in a slightly different form, I will ask it a little differently.

He didn’t get Kaiser’s crown. He remained king of Prussia. He and the other princes decided to turn this movement off.
Friedrich Wilhelm IV never got the Kaiserkrone. He also did not reject them because he waited for the approval of the German princes and free cities.
For him it was the crown of the parliamentarians of the German Covenant and thus of traitors they wanted to put on him. Later he was also the one who had the parliamentary movement fired together in Germany and stopped the German Revolution and National Unification with violence.
A quote from Friedrich Wilhelm IV.
“Every German nobleman who leads a cross or a line in the coat of arms is one hundred times too good to accept such a diadem of dirt and letting of the revolution, of treasury and of high treason. The old, legitimate, since 1806 resting crown of German nation, the diadem of God’s graces, which makes the one who carries it the highest authority of Germany, who owes obedience for the sake of conscience, that can be assumed when one feels in himself the power to it and allows the innate duties. But the crown does not forgive anyone as Emperor Franz Joseph, I, and of our own, and hurt him! who tries it without us and hurt him! who accepts it!”
It was only in 1871 that Wilhelm I was appointed Emperor of the German. That was another theater until the Sturkopf got into it. The Hohenzoller have always been a little “special”.
