This chapter uses the school curricula of the Austrian half of the Habsburg state to prove that, contrary to earlier assumptions, officials were committed to modernizing its institutions and asserting itself as a modern and constitutional state. Schools supported this vision of the monarchy by teaching about the state, the rights and obligations of citizens under the constitution, the role of the monarch and dynasty, and, most importantly, the rights afforded to each national and language group. It concludes that Habsburg officials consciously used schools to craft an image of the state as a modern, constitutional, and multinational.
