Explain the flaw in Weimer's constitution that robbed Weimer Republic of functioning checks and balances
What will be an ideal response?
Article 48 was a flaw in the Weimer Constitution, which gave the president of
the republic the right to declare states of emergency and to issue decrees unilaterally—
that is, without having to wait for the parliament to pass proposed legislation. Article 48
robbed the Weimar Republic of functioning checks and balances, and would provide the
mechanism through which Hitler would come to power.
