-Stresemann altered the policies with the introduction of Dawes plan and the young plan. - Germany was able to meet its reparation payments and the French left the area of Ruhr in 1924. The failures can be seen through the flaws in the constitution, political parties, economic failures the lack of support towards the republic. •The new parliament met in February 1919 and drew up a constitution that established Germany as a democracy. •It was a constitution that would preserve German democracy, liberties and rights of the people.
Explain how the Nazi Party came to power, despite setbacks, by 1934. The rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party came to prominence by a facilitated series of events and factors which subsequently saw the collapse of democracy and marked the introduction of the dictatorial rule. Although cautious of the drastic nature of the Nazi movement, the role of the conservative elites and the subversive elements of the Weimar Constitution played a key role in appointing Hitler as chancellor in 1933, signifying decisively the collapse of the democratic system. The Reichstag fire of 1933 further served as a symbolic display of the failure of democracy, the consequences of which would catalyse a campaign against communism and flag the way for Nazi electoral success at the March elections. With the Nazi Party now firmly rooted in the political scene, Hitler sought to combine his power through the implementation of the Enabling Act; this law would effectively abolish any trace of power held by the Reichstag and the president.
Such may include the executive, judiciary and legislature (Thomas, 2008). This paper seeks to argue that the United States Constitution limits the presidential powers, and thus governing presidents should act in the best interest of the public. The presidency is the popular symbol of governmental authority. Therefore, the president is the chief administrator or the chief executive of a given country. In most countries, the presidency is a constitutional office with a specific term and a specific procedure for electing the president.
He was able to exercise personal control over the executive branch and carried out policy decisions as an individual rather than a collective body, with the use of a Prime Minister’s department of special advisors, enforcers and public relations accountable to and in direct service of Blair himself, and consequently, to an extent effectively killed off the use of the cabinet. Blair became increasingly seen by politicians as a ‘chief-executive’ rather than the ‘chairman of the board’. When Labour came into power in 1997 Jonathon Powell, Chief of Staff at the Prime Minister’s Office famously warned senior civil servants to expect ‘a change from a feudal system of barons to a more Napoleonic system’. Blair’s No.10 aides asserted that ‘Cabinet died years ago’, claiming they wanted to replace the department barons with a Bonapartist system’. Blair sought to centralise policy making through structural changes to the Prime Minister’s office and the Cabinet Office.
The Executive Branch is made up of the President and Cabinet. There main job is to enforce the laws when they are made. They also command military, make treaties, and when elected the President absolutely has to give a State of Union address. Again, they have power to check on the other two branches. Over the Legislative Branch it was the power to veto bills.
The End of Empires by Brandon Lim Empires are made of colonies from other countries; and are ruled by a single monarch that may differ in title, for example, the Tsar in Russia, King in England and Kaiser in German. As the twentieth century loomed, the world was dominated by the Great Powers .These nations were Great Britain, Russia, Germany, France and Austria- Hungary and had extensive possessions away from their sovereign state. It was becoming apparent that if the dissolution of the Great Empires were to happen, something big must take place. World War One would spell the end of empires but what led up to the terrible war is just as important. Key events include the Franco- Russian War, alliance systems and the assassination of Franz
Whereas what works best for the German culture is a multi party dual executive form of government where a majority of the power is located in the chancellor and the other branches are not quite as important but still serve their rolls to help the government to move forward. Ultimately, the distinguishing features of the two governments may seem small but they are actually quite significant and are the result of the two nations drastic difference in the way their relative histories progressed. The American presidential system is the result of the breaking away from the Great Britain; and the German presidential system is a direct result of the fall of Hitlers Nazi Germany. Both forms of democracy rose as a solution to tyranny and oppression and consequently produced two of the worlds front running
There were three discernible challenges to the political establishment, such as, aggressive foreign policy, the demand for constitutional reform and the demand for social reform. Socialists demanded social reform. In October 1878, Bismark persuaded the Reichstag to pass the Anti-socialist Law, which banned the SPD and drove all socialist organisations underground. In 1890, the Reichstag, with the Kaiser's backing (and to Bismarck's fury) refused to confirm the legislation, and it was dropped. From then to the outbreak of war, only limited an piecemeal social reform was
Because the American people blame the president for any problems, the president feels especially obligated to pass laws through congress. On top of that, the people can “overthrow” the government if they feel it is not going on the right direction, according to John Locke. At the start of a president’s term, the president has a legislative agenda. About 80 percent of the bills that congress passes originate
He is also the commander and chief of the military. The executive branch also consist of the vice president who is always ready to assume the next position if necessary. (The Executive Branch) The constitution sets the president up as a superior, but not as an anarchic leader. In The Second Treatise of Government, Locke stresses the importance of a strong executive branch. John Locke would not agree with the constitutions set up for the executive branch.
