 German student movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
German students were hence allowed to return to work very quickly, but the university system was not fully denazified.
When the miracle was over, however, the German economy had to be reorganized; with the forming of the national unity government in 1966 the government had all the power it needed to shape the economy the way it wanted: there was no opposition left to question their actions.
The students were strongly opposed to the idea of German emergency legislature which was due to be passed, which would allow the government to limit civil rights in the case of an emergency.

 GERMANY
The ethnogenesis of the Germanic tribes is assumed to have occurred during the Pre-Roman Iron Age in southern Scandinavia and northern Germany, from the first century BC expanding south, east and west, coming into contact with Celtic tribes of Gaul and Iranian, Baltic and Slavic tribes in Eastern Europe.
Under Augustus, the Roman General Drusus began to invade Germany, and it was from this period that the German tribes became familiar with Roman tactics of warfare whilst maintaining their national identity.
This was exacerbated by a wide-spread right-wing (monarchist, völkische, and Nazi) Dolchstoßlegende, a political myth which claimed the German Revolution was the main reason why Germany had lost the war, decried the Revolutionists as traitors (Novemberverbrecher = November criminals) and the political system born of the Revolution as illegitimate.

 Moscow, The Regions and Russia's Foreign Policy
Some declared a ‘state of emergency’ in their region, though they quickly retreated from the implication that this was a formal, and therefore anti-constitutional, act.
It represents an inherently unstable approach to centre-periphery relations, as it simultaneously presents regional governors with power and authority but deprives them of the means to exercise that responsibility; the flow of power to the regions is not yet to be mirrored by the requisite flow of finance.
They are important as their emergency status forces the pace and shapes the nature of Federal response and reaction.

 AEI - Short Publications   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The architects of the German constitution sought to learn the "lessons of Weimar," where a fractious multi-party parliament, unwilling or unable to form a government, prompted increasingly frequent general elections, government by presidential emergency decree, and eventually, with President Paul von Hindenburg's help, the Nazis' power grab.
The "lesson" was to protect the legislature's authority and stability--fatefully, to the exclusion of the quasi-plebiscitary mechanisms through which other parliamentary systems ensure effective government.
The German voters, for the time being, demand to be coddled rather than led.

The Committee recognized that attitudes based on xenophobia and racial discrimination are rejected by a broad section of the German public, as shown by anti-discrimination demonstrations, expressions of compassion for the victims of violence, and frequent condemnation of xenophobia and racial discrimination in the daily press and other media.
