Weimar Republic

Assignment #7

Article 111
All Germans enjoy freedom to move and settle down. Everybody is entitled to stay and settle anywhere within the Reich, to acquire property and to pursue his trade. Limitations require a Reich law.  “Weimar Republic”

According to the article Germans have the right to move about freely such as migrate into different regions or states of Germany, purchase and or rent property along with working to provide for his her family.  Any other requirements not of the norm or atypical of the above law, requires assistance or permission of Reich law. The fourteenth amendment, section one of the United States of America protects all citizens- stating that one would not be “deprived” of the freedom to relocate or gain property and make a living.  If any problems were to arise then the citizen would have to follow due process which could take weeks or years in order to resolve an issue. Some people relocate because there is an opportunity for a better paying job or better education for their children, a safer neighborhood and so many more options.  The negative side to this great law is a word that will strike fear into any home owner’s heart “eminent domain”- this is when the government has the right to seize your home from you whether you are willing or not, it is protected by the Fifth Amendment. Which I personally object to, even if the land is for public use and the government is willing to pay you for the land. Because one is under the false impression that it is my home, my land, my sanctuary and no one has the right to take it from me. Economic liberty is the right to own and use property free from unreasonable government interference.

Although laws in general are meant to protect, there are times when there is a backlash or double standard, so it’s not really protecting ones rights or property.

Article 47

The Reich President has the supreme command over the armed forces in their entirety. “Weimar Republic”

The president has total power over the armed forces as it states above. The President is both the chief Executive of the United States, responsible for the executive branch of the federal government, and the chief of state.  According to Article two, section two, the president is given a lot of latitude in the defense area or war power, the positive side is that leaders are responsible for their actions that affect millions of people and will be held responsible for their actions by the public. The President has advisor(s) such as national security advisor to assist with his decisions but he has the final say –in some areas, although there are always conflicts with the senate about his decisions or actions.

No law is currently protected one hundred percent from being amended, modified and/ or face nullification because there are always debaters, issues that arise on a daily basis, plus new presidents. Again laws meant to protect people, property, government and so many more areas which always carry conflict in some way and these are reason why laws are always changing. The United States Supreme Court has the iron hammer or final say, in regards to all other courts and changes in law.  “Greenberg/Page”
