- The Weimar Government
- This was the new government that replaced the Kaiser (king). It was called this
because early in 1919, Weimar (a town in Germany) became the temporary
capital of Germany after fighting in Berlin. They kept this name to remind
Germany of the less aggressive more cultural side. Democracy and Communism
could be formed.

- PR (Proportional Representation)
- This voting system is fair as it gives people more
voice in Parliament HOWEVER It created weaker
governments, parties had to work together but fell
out and the Weimar governments struggled to
cope with problems.

- Political Effects:
- PROBLEM 2) THE CONSTITUTION (HOW GERMANY WAS FORMED)
- THE PRESIDENT: Elected every 7 years - too long, Controlled the armed
forces - too much power, In an emergency he could make laws
without going through the Reichstag (Parliament) (article 48) - too much
power and stayed out of the day to day running of the country
- THE PRESIDENT APPOINTED THE CHANCELLOR - too much power
- CHANCELLOR: responsible for the day to
day running of the country, chosen from the
Reichstag by the President and he was like a
prime minister
- THE CHANCELLOR NEEDED SUPPORT FROM MORE THAN HALF OF
THE REICHSTAG
- THE REICHSTAG: Voted on new laws,
members elected every 4 years through PR -
lead to weak governments as gave smaller
parties a chance in Parliament.
- THE REICHSTAG WAS
ELECTED BY THE
GERMAN PEOPLE.
- All men and women could vote over the age of 20 and all adults had the right
to freedom of speech and equal rights.
