Verified by Experts

The Weimar Constitution had same inherent defects which made it unstable. Due to proportional representation, one single party could not come to power, rather a coalition government was formed. Another defect was the Article 48, which gave the President the powers to impose emergency, suspend civil rights and rule by decree. Within a short period of time, amny governments changed and this made people lose confidence in the democratic parliamentary system which seemed to offer no solutions.
