  Weimar Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The phrase Weimar Republic is an invention of historians, and was not used during its existence.
The use of the English word empire and its adjective imperial may be confusing because the Weimar Republic was a republic; empire is an imprecise translation of the German word Reich (which does not have a specific monarchic connotation) and is increasingly translated as commonwealth or realm.
The fall of the Weimar Republic was closely analysed thirteen years later during the Nuremburg Trials when it was decided that in the case of the aristocratic Catholic Franz von Papen, along with the Rhenish-Westphalian Industrial Magnates, conspiracy to assist Adolf Hitler to power was not an indictable offence.

 Decorations of the States of the German Empire
The Empire was a federal state, although Prussia's dominant role was evident almost everywhere, and especially in the Imperial German Army.
All of the states that became part of the Empire had to enter into military conventions with Prussia which effectively subordinated their armed forces to the Prussian Army.
Four other states which were on the losing side of the Seven Weeks' War - the Kingdoms of Bavaria and Württemberg and the Grand Duchies of Baden and Hesse-Darmstadt - did not become members of the North German Confederation, but would join the German Empire in 1871.

the constitution gave the President, the states and the army too much power, whilst proportional voting meant that the Reichstag was divided and weak.

Weimar's fragile attempt at democracy, he contends, was destroyed by a steady retreat from political compromise and by a continuous shrinking of the material and economic base, which prevented the liberal government, with its welfare structure, from gaining real legitimacy in the eyes of the German people.
Interpreting Weimar as a brief, headlong tour of the fateful choices made possible by the modern world, this rigorous history explores the paradox of a society that spawned avant-garde cultural breakthroughs amid bleak poverty and political breakdown.
While not arguing that the Weimar experiment in democracy was doomed to fail, Peukert (Inside Nazi Germany, Yale, 1989) clearly suggests that a general "crisis of modernity" rendered a happy outcome most unlikely.

A record of the rulers of German states is an exceedingly complex undertaking, inasmuch as German feudal theory encouraged rampant subdivision of territories within various branches of governing noble families.
Additionally, the continental practice of assigning to all descendents of one granted a patent of nobility the rank so proferred (as opposed to merely the Salic heirs - eldest surviving male of eldest surviving male, etc.) insured one level or another of corporate rulership based on "committees" of brothers and often cousins.

 International Policing in 19th-Century Europe (by Mathieu Deflem)
In the 17th-century German states, this concept of administrative power, referred to as "good police" (gute Policey), concerned the observance and furtherance of all aspects of public life that concerned the population's happiness (Glückseligkeit), as well as the elimination of dangers that might threaten public or individual well-being.
The list was compiled on the basis of a book of publishing companies and the list of advertisers from the Leipzig book fair (Beck and Schmidt 1993).
This form of power is characterized by a concern to observe and control everything that is, all events, actions, and opinions, for the state's strength was increasingly conceived to be related, not to monarchial might, but to the conditions of a population of living beings (Foucault 1974:589-593; 1975:213-216).

Even anarchy and noncooperation would have been better, she stated, than the effort to act as though the occupiers were traditional anti-Semites who might somehow be bribed or appeased.
By 1950 or so, her disappointment with the dead-on-arrival idea of a binational state in the Near East quietly distanced her from the organized Jewish community, whose resources would henceforth be mounted on behalf of Jewish sovereignty in Palestine.
Although Arendt deeply appreciated the refuge that the United States provided (an appreciation that its academic institutions and audiences reciprocated by recognizing her gifts), it is difficult to detect any significant American influences upon her work.
