Question

constitutional defects in Germany​

Answer 1

Answer:

The inherent defects of German constitution were:

1) The system of proportional representation made it difficult for a one party to achieve a majority. This lead to a rule by coalitions.

2) Article 48 gave the President the power to impose emergency, suspend civil rights and rule by decree.

3) These defects lead to Weimar Republic having twenty different cabinets lasting on an average 239 days. As a result, Weimar Republic was unstable and vulnerable to dictatorship.
