Constitution of Weimar

The Constitution of German Reich of August 11th, 1919 ( of Verfassung of Deutschen Reiches vom 11. August 1919 ), known as the constitution of Weimar ( of Weimarer Verfassung or of Weimarer Reichsverfassung , WRV), is the adopted Constitution on July 31st, 1919 with Weimar for the German Reich by the German and promulgated constituent National Assembly the August 11th. It was the first democratic constitution applied in the German history; the Political regime which it founded, the Weimar Republic, lasted fourteen years.

The constitution of 1919 is attached to the liberal and democratic spirit of 1848 and founds a democratic République supposed to break with the authoritarianism of the empire bismarckien and wilhelmien. Conceived in a country torn by the revolution, it is however founded on a certain number of compromises - semi-presidential Régime parliamentary but , Fédéralisme in spite of a Net reinforcement of the central capacity, system mid- representative, mid- plebiscitary - which will make its application chaotic.

It quickly ceased being applied after the come to power of the Nazis in 1933, without however being juridically abolished, and became null and void with the disappearance of Reich on June 5th, 1945. Some of its articles are however still in force, having been integrated into the fundamental law of 1949.
