Frequent changes of government - during the Republic there were nine elections.

The Chancellor was meant to be leader of the largest party - after 1930 President Hindenburg appointed chancellors who didn't lead the largest party and allowed them to rule using article 48

All Germans had equal rights, including the right to vote.

The Chancellor was meant to be leader of the largest party - after 1930 President Hindenburg appointed chancellors who didn't lead the largest party and allowed them to rule using article 21

Use of PR encouraged lots of small parties which each got a small number of MPs. This ended up in lots of coalition governments.

His organisational ability was quickly recognised and in 1920 he was put in charge of the party's propaganda machine.
In 1919 Anton Drexler founded the German Workers Party in Munich, Bavaria. It was a right-wing, nationalistic party which stressed the ideal of a pure German people.
While working for the army intelligence unit, Adolf Hitler attended a meeting in September 1919. He liked what he heard and was invited to join.
In February 1920 Hitler and Drexler wrote the party's 'Twenty-Five Point Programme', which became its political manifesto.
Party membership increased from 1100 members in June 1920 to 55,000 in November 1923.
In July 1921 Hitler replaced Drexler as leader and he changed the name of the party to National Socialist German Workers Party.
In 1921 Hitler set up the Sturmabteilung (SA) which was led by Ernst Rohm. Often referred to as the 'Brownshirts' because of the colour of their unifrorm, this armed group of mostly ex-military men were charged with protecting Nazi speakers from attacks by rival politicasl groups.
