Limitation of weimer republic

The inherent defects/LIMITATIONS of the Weimar constitution are:

1.Proportional representation-This refers to rule by coalitions which made it impossible for one major party to occupy the government.As there was a rule of coalitions in Germany,there would be crisis if one party pulls out of the ruling party's coalition showing that the weimar constitution is weak.

2.Liberal use of article 48-Article 48 gave the president the powers to impose emergency,suspend all civil rights and rule by decree.In the different cabinets that lasted in Germany,people saw a liberal use of Article 48.But,it still did not give any solutions to the people's problems.Hence the people lost faith in the Weimar constitution.

This became a defect of the weimar constitution as loss of support of people resulted in popular support for conservative dictatorship in Germany.
