BEHR, WILLIAM JOSEPH (17751851) , German publicist and writer, was born at Salzheim on the 26th of August 1775. He studied law at Wurzburg and Gottingen, became professor of public law in the university of Wurzburg in 1799, and in 1819 was sent as a
deputy
  to the Landtag of Bavaria. Having associated himself with the party of reform, he was regarded with suspicion by the Bavarian king
Maximilian
  I. and the
court
  party, although favoured for a time by
Maximilian
 's son, the future King Louis I. In 1821 he was compelled to give up his professorship, but he continued to agitate for reform, and in 1831 the king refused to recognize his election to the Landtag. A speech delivered by Behr in 1832 was regarded as seditious, and he was arrested. In spite of his assertion of loyalty to the principle of monarchy he was detained in custody, and in 1836 was found guilty of seeking to injure the king. He then admitted his offence; but he was not released from prison until 1839, and the next nine years of his
life
  were passed under police super-vision at Passau and Regensburg. In 1848 he obtained a free
pardon
  and a sum of money as compensation, and was sent to the German national assembly which met at Frankfort in May of that year. He passed his remaining days at
Bamberg
 , where he died on the 1st of August 1851. Behr's
chief
  writings are: Darstellung der Bedilrfnisse, Wiinsche and Hoffnungen deutscher Nation (Aschaffenburg, 1816); Die Verfassung and Verwaltung des Striates (Nuremberg, 18111812); Von den rechtlichen Grenzen der Einwirkung des Deutschen Bundes auf die Verfassung, Gesetzgebung, and Rechlspflege seiner Gliederstaaten (
Stuttgart
 , 1820).
