Provides an original and provocative interpretation of the Weimar Constitution. At the centre of this interpretation lies the famous argument that the legitimacy of a constitution depends on a sovereign decision of the people. This book helps in understanding the liberal constitutionalism that makes room for a strong, independent state.
