The Prussian Revolutionary cabinet was the provisional state government of Prussia from 14 November 1918 to 25 March 1919. It was based on a coalition of Majority Social Democrats (MSPD) and Independent Social Democrats (USPD), as was the Council of the People's Deputies, which was formed at the Reich level. The Prussian cabinet was revolutionary because it was not formed on the basis of the previous Prussian constitution of 1848/1850.
The cabinet was led by Paul Hirsch of the MSPD. One MSPD and one USPD man were assigned to each department. The USPD members left the cabinet on 4 January 1919. It was replaced by a new cabinet after the Prussian State Assembly was elected on 26 January 1919.
