Answer of the Above Question

Answer By: Excellant

The terms and conditions as per Weimar Republic were not conducive for Germany. Germany lost many of its resource rich areas to other countries. Germany was demilitarised in the process. Hence, people were not happy with Weimar Republic.

Answer By: Excellant

Its constitution had some inherent defects and hence the Weimar Republic was prone to be unstable and vulnerable to dictatorship. The provision of proportional representation meant that majority by a single party was impossible and coalition government was the norm. Article 48 gave the President the powers to impose emergency to suspend civil rights and to rule by decree. The average life span of a cabinet was just 239 days and emergency was declared many times.
