The document was authored primarily by Chancellor Heinrich Werner and his deputy Wenzel Dahlke. The declaration's origins began with the sudden abdication of Emperor Victor IV in October 1989 amid the Vierz Revolution.
The two-page brief, which was also signed by the leadership of the national legislature, declared the immediate dissolution of the Vierz Empire and its succession by the Vierz Federation. It also dissolved the imperial government, replacing it with a caretaker government to be headed by Chancellor Werner and supported by a constituent assembly, the National Assembly, which would be elected in February.
