1) The Weimar Republic was politically fragile.
2) The Weimar constitution had some defects which made it unstable and vulnerable to dictatorship, out of which one was proportional representation. This made achieving a majority by any one party an impossible task. Which later led to rule by coalitions.
3) This constitution also included the Article 48, which gave the president the powers to impose emergency, suspend civil rights and rule by decree
4) Within it's short life, the Weimar republic saw 20 different cabinets lasting on an average 239 days and a liberal use of Article 48
4) People lost their confidence in the Democratic Parliamentary system, which seemed to have no solutions. It became unpopular between the people of Germany.
These are few defects of the Weimar Republic.
