Parliament can make laws on any matter due to Dicey in ‘Law of the Constitution (1885).’ He said that ‘in theory Parliament has total power. It is sovereign'. He states a number of reasons as to how this is possible. Firstly Dicey points out that Parliament can pass laws on any subject without legal restriction therefore it is sovereign. This principle is a result of the election of the Members of Parliament (MPs), by the electorate which gives them authority to represent and pass legislation on their behalf.
Arguments to agree with the statement is that Germany did have a voting system and this was done on universal suffrage for all males over the age of 25, which was exactly the same in countries such as Britain and France and arguably better than America who discriminated against racial minorities. These votes were for the election of members to the Reichstag, which did contain power over the defence and annual budget which was the most significant federal government expenditure. Also, though the Reichstag could be dissolved by the Kaiser, it could not be dissolved indefinitely and it had the right to hold elections after its dissolution. This shows that the Reichstag would always have a voice over political issues in Germany even if the Kaiser elected to dissolve it, showing that Germany was a parliamentary democracy to a small extent. Pressure groups also existed in Germany at the time, which shows that the German public had a certain amount to freedom of speech.
Explain why you chose this country. I chose Germany because it was surrounded by the Triple Entente (France, Russia, and Great Britain) meaning, if one goes on war with Germany, so does the others. Therefore, Germany needed a stronger navy to face the other countries. c. Based on the state of the arms race in 1914, if you were a German citizen, how would you feel? Explain why.
Eisenhower (1890-1969) Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Force, Europe. "Ike" combined a talent for administration with an affable, yet commanding, personality that eventually placed him in positions of great power and responsibility, including leading the Allied invasion of Europe in 1944. He was the leader of the Ally forces in Europe. • Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) Adolf Hitler was the leader of the German Nazi party and eventually became dictator over all of Germany.

The best president in U.S history I believe is Abraham Lincoln. Abe Lincoln deserved to be the best president because he led his country through the civil war, abolished slavery by issuing the emancipation proclamation, and by issuing the emancipation proclamation the north gained British support. Abe created an economic development program, which began when the country was bankrupt and made the United States the world’s greatest industrial power. I believe that the 2nd best president is George Washington. Washington led the revolutionary war which began the birth of a new nation which goes under foreign policy, helped with the constitution that had much to do with equal rights, and dealt with the whiskey rebellion.
Intro: At the height of his reign, Adolf Hitler was the most powerful and influential leader of his time. From his appointment as Chancellor of Germany in 1933 to his suicide in 1945 marking the close of WW2 in Europe, the hand of Hitler and the Nazi Party would stretch to all reaches of Germany enforcing totalitarian ideals and practices, a reflection of Hitler’s own fantasy. A country led by one party, led by one man as Hitler would cite, “ There must be no majority decisions, but only responsible persons, and the word 'council' must be restored to its original meaning. Surely every man will have advisers by his side, but the decision will be made by one man.” (Cited in Mein Kampf, 1925) Once power was established by the Nazi Party, Hitler would exercise his control over all aspects of German military and civilian life, including Education, economy, sport, religion, art and culture, and quite importantly gender roles most focused on women. Aims: Hitler believed solely in the theory of ‘eugenics’.
Victory against France in 1871 led to the unification of the states of North Confederation with the rest of the kingdoms and a new constitution based on the North Confederation’s one was created. The author was Germany’s first Chancellor Otto von Bismarck and it aimed in preserving the power of the elite. The new German Reich was consisted of twenty-five states, four kingdoms, six grand duchies, twelve duchies and principalities and three free cities, and also the territory of Alsace-Loraine that was seized from France in 1871. Each state had a different government and constitution with forms of it varying from near absolutism to universal suffrage. The states were also responsible for things like education, police, justice and health care, whereas the domestic affairs were in the hands of state government.
Otto von Bismarck was indeed a leading figure of the unification of Germany. In fact, as a Prussian prime minister, a patriot and a monarchist, his primer goal was to unite Germany under the Prussian leadership. Bismarck managed to implement his plan using diplomacy, economic measures and wars. To begin with, Bismarck was a supporter of Realpolitik, or the politics of reality , and he applied it to diplomacy. He was a tough-mined person who valued the outcome over the principles.
