The Head of State's legal and official title was "Emperor of all Russia, etc.". "Tsar" was an informal style used both inside and outside of Russia for Russia's ruler (in other monarchies, such as Bulgaria, "Tsar" is properly translated as "King"). Although the Head of State's full title did include, legally, "Tsar" of a number of historical realms absorbed into the Russian Empire, the title "Tsar of Russia" no longer existed, having been superceded by "Emperor" since 1721.
The references to "Tsar" in the Constitution's clauses are inaccurate. The word used was always "Emperor", and that word should be substituted in this article. Lethiere 19:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
