Question

1. explain any five drawbacks of Weimar constitution.

Answer 1

Ater the defeat of Imperial germany, the Weimar Republic came into existence. The republic had a democratic constitution and a federal constitution. The republic was not well recieved by the people. The Weimar republic faced many problems on all fronts- economic, social and political. It was held responsible for the defeat in the first world war. The republic had to pay the war compensation and this put the republic in deep final crisis. Germany had fought the war largely on loans and had to pay the war reparations in gold. Subsequently gold reserves depleted the and the value of the german mark fell. Prices of essential commodities rose dramatically.

The Weimar faced problems on the political front also. The constitution had many defects. The constitution gave the president the powers to impose emergency, suspend civil rights and rule by decree. The Weimar Republic had 20 different cabinets within a short span of time. Soon people lost confidence in the democratic parliametary system.
