In this episode we will explore the Weimar Constitution, highlighting its key features, strengths, and weaknesses. It emphasizes the enfranchisement of all Germans over 20 and efforts to prevent power concentration. However, flaws like proportional representation caused unstable coalitions, and Article 48 allowed the President to bypass democracy. The influence of powerful states like Prussia through the Reichsrat also weakened the constitution. We’ll present a balanced view of the Weimar Constitution’s democratic aspirations and inherent vulnerabilities.
