Advantages about Article 48
Germany became the most democratic country over night
every vote is now counted fair
in emergency quick decisions needed quick decisions can be made as they can 'rule by decree' as the Reichstag are slow
Advantages of Proportional Representation
in emergency the leader can make quick decisions if needed as they can 'rule by decree' as the Reichstag are slow
every vote is counted so it is fair
Disadvantage of democracy
too quick a change. should of done it gradually. many people couldn't cope from undemocratic (kaiser) leader to very democratic leader (Weimar)
no party could get an overall majority (51%) so lots of small parties had seats causing a very slow response. bad in emergency
the president was allowed to decide when it was an emergency. open to abuse if they wanted power.
