In this episode, we’ll describe the Weimar Republic, which governed Germany during the interwar period, and its connection to economic conditions. We’ll discuss the role of the President, elected every seven years, who appointed ministers and could issue decrees using Article 48. We’ll also explore the structure of Parliament, including the Reichstag, which controlled taxation, and the Reichsrat. Proportional representation determined the allocation of seats, and we’ll highlight that all citizens over 20 had the right to vote. Join us as we examine the complexities of governance in the Weimar Republic.
