Â Encyclopedia: 1921 in Germany

A peculiar light was thrown on the Monarchist Party in Germany at the trial of Traugott von Jagow, who had been police president of Berlin, and of two accomplices, for having taken part in the Kapp insurrection in 1920.
On the other hand, the action of the Reparations Commission in fixing further dates for the payment of enormous sums by Germany was scarcely noticed, public attention being almost wholly centred on the approach of May 1, the date assigned for the first payment of reparations.
All the most important events in Germany in 1921 were connected with questions arising out of the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, disarmament, reparations, trial of war criminals, and the plebiscite in Upper Silesia- questions which, from their harassing nature, kept both government and people in constant suspense and agitation.

Â Nazi Germany: The Decrees of 1933

If public safety and order in Germany are materially disturbed or endangered, the President may take the necessary measures to restore public safety and order, and, if necessary, to intervene with the help of the armed forces.
Thus, over the unavailing opposition of Socialist deputies, the March 24 session gave Hitler approval of legislation enabling him to exercise dictatorial rule for four years, leaving the Nazis free to suborn Germany's hitherto free institutions and subordinate both state and people to the ideological demands of the new regime.
One of the most repressive acts of the new Nazi government, this one allowed for the suspension of civil liberties in the wake of the false crisis created by the Nazis as a result of the fire that gutted the Reichstag (parliament) building on the previous day.

Impeachment cases against the President or a judge, member of one of the Federal Supreme Courts, brought by the Bundestag, the Bundesrat or the federal government, based on violation of constitutional or federal law (Impeachment Procedure).
The courtâ€™s practice of enormous constitutional control frequency on the one hand, and the continuity in judicial self-restraint and political revision on the other hand, created a unique defender of the Grundgesetz since World War II and assigned a remarkably outstanding role in a modern democracy.
The Federal Constitutional Court (in German: Bundesverfassungsgericht, BVerfG) is a special court established by the German Constitution, the Grundgesetz (Basic Law).

Â André Tardieu. The Truth about the Treaty. 1921. Chapters X & XI.

The Armistice itself, in Articles 9, 6, 29, 30 and 32, mentions six times, as contracting party, not the States forming the Reich, but the "German" Government, or "Germany." Remember that the Armistice is not only military---that it was discussed and reinforced at Versailles by the Governments---that it contains political and financial clauses.
I have quoted the solemn resolutions passed on June 5 and 6, 1917.( 44) They contain no word either with regard to imposing disintegration upon Germany by the terms of a Treaty, or of any interference in her internal affairs whatsoever.
As a matter of fact, it is hard to see just how authority given to Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau to obtain the signature of the Bavarian Government could have altered the general constitution of Germany, or have lessened the German danger for France.

This volume, part of the ongoing official published record of American foreign policy, presents the documentary record of U.S. policy toward Berlin and Germany during the administration of President Lyndon B. Johnson.
The final agreement on off-set costs in the fall of 1967 reinforced the relationship that had been solidified during President Johnson's visit to Germany to attend the funeral of Konrad Adenauer.
During this period Germany adopted a more activist and more European policy and searched for a new relationship with the Soviet Union and the states of Eastern Europe that would lay the groundwork for eventual reunification.

While the appointment of a Supreme Court justice is a problem to be solved by the Senate and the President of the United States, this process is in Germany rather difficult.
While the procedure in oral arguments of the Supreme Court is strongly governed by the court rules, the Judges of the FCC decide in each case how oral argument is organized.
The decision of the Supreme Court to reject a case, that is to say, to deny a petition, is simply made by not transferring a case from the conference agenda which includes all petitions, to the 'discuss list" which consists of all cases at least one justice wants to discuss in conference.

As soon as he ran for office he found it more advantageous to promote himself as "pro-choice." Similar tactics were employed by others pursuing the nomination for president in the Democratic Party.
For example, Democratic House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt used to vote pro-life until he concluded that the nomination politics in his party required him to be pro-abortion-oops, I mean "pro-choice." Similarly, Vice President Al Gore voted mostly pro-life when he was in the House of Representative.
Legalized abortion on demand places the unborn child in America today as much in jeopardy as a disabled person in Nazi Germany--except that abortion does not even involve the pro-forma review by a panel of experts which the Nazi program required.

If the president of the Commission were elected, European parties would have to run EP-elections with candidates and present a political working-program for the 'Commission-Executive.'

Â Enabling Act for the Judiciary [Free Republic]

The lack of reporting was somehow fitting, though, following as it did the silent debate last year when Congress rubberstamped the annual Intelligence Authorization Act.
If the Republican Party permits this extraordinary abuse of office by the Florida Supreme Court, Republicans will have signed an American version of the Enabling Act, which in 1933 transferred legislative power from the German parliament to Adolf Hitler, thus making him a dictator.
In fact, it may be said that President Clinton’s bid to consolidate executive power and abolish federalism by decree actually displays greater audacity than Hitler’s, given that Hitler’s most decisive actions were taken after the German legislature had formally surrendered power through the Enabling Act.

Â Germany 1922-1945, 1990- - nationalanthems.info

After Germany had become reunified on 3rd October 1990, Federal President Richard von Weizsaecker confirmed in a letter to Chancellor Helmut Kohl, dated 19th August 1991, that the third verse of Hoffmann von Fallersleben's "Lied der Deutschen" with Joseph Haydn's melody are the official national anthem of the reunified Germany.
And when West and East Germany were founded in 1949, initially neither state wished to use the "Lied der Deutschen" because of its association with the Nazi government and its misuse of the sentiment in the lyrics.
Although Germany had been proclaimed a Republic on 9th November 1918 upon its defeat in World War I, it needed nearly four years until "Lied der Deutschen" was declared the new national anthem by the social democratic President Friedrich Ebert on August 11th, 1922.
