The Weimar Republic

                 


                                                                The Weimar Republic


Article 84The Reich, by the means of legislation, establishes regulations for :
1. the establishment of state taxation management, inasmuch a uniform and equanimous application of Reich taxation laws require;
2. the establishment and authority of the administration branches responsible for the supervision of the execution of Reich taxation laws;
3. the clearing with the states;
4. compensation for the costs of administration caused by the execution of Reich taxation laws.

I chose this article because as I read this I remembered what these people went through and how much they had lost during this time. Taxation had to be controlled to help this country to bounce back or to have a crawling start at fixing their problems. So this was their start of recuperation.


Article 109All Germans are equal in front of the law.
In principle, men and women have the same rights and obligations.
Legal privileges or disadvantages based on birth or social standing are to be abolished.
Noble titles form part of the name only; noble titles may not be granted any more.
Titles may only be granted, if they indicate an office or occupation; academic degrees are not affected by this regulation.
The state may no more bestow orders and medals.
No German may accept titles or orders from a foreign government


I chose this article which was the becoming of  some sort of sincerity to the countries people. Even if  at times it may have seemed superficial and long overdue it was a start. Those who thought they had more control over the more unfortunate, now had to learn how to be treated as one with those very people on a level probably unfair to them. And those who felt the government had failed them now felt they had a chance at life without so many prejudices.
