  • Reichstag had proportional representation
  • The Constitution gave the President emergency powers (Article 48)
  • The Constitution was too democratic: even extreme parties could get seats in the Reichstag
  • If the Chancellor cannot get the support of the Reichstag he will be unable to pass any laws --> will take lots of time
  • The the various parties in the Reichstag refuse to work together there could be stalemate
  • The president could abuse his powers under Article 48
